I’m rewatching Girls and it strikes me that both the Marnie/Charlie episode and Hannah/Adam episode in season 6 are very similar. Both are fantasies about the characters getting back together that end in final goodbyes. The feel of the episodes is similar.

In the episode where Flo is in hospital, Adam makes it there by motorcycle, and Hannah is on a train. This supposes Upstate or New England somewhere within reach no more than 4 hours by any mode of transport from the City.

What’s more, her uncle got done for insider trading, safe to assume he commuted to NYC to work in finance.

I think Hannah’s mother is from whatever state that is (as the single aunt lived there with Flo), got a professor job in Michigan, maybe even went to undergrad there and met Tad and just stayed and settled, raising Hannah there.

Theories?

EDIT: If we’re going further, Horvath is a Hungarian Jewish surname I believe, don’t know Loreen’s maiden name however

I love them all and I don’t care who knows it! Hannah in particular is so funny in how god damn self involved she is. That’s exactly the point Lena is making with her writing.

When I read Famesick I found myself wanting more of the little stories from Lenas New york city upbringing and the people in it.
