Lola Kirke is the author of "Wild West Village."

Lola Kirke grew up feeling like an outsider in her larger than life family full of creatives.

Her new memoir, which is specifically labeled as “not a memoir,” is titled Wild West Village. In it she details some of the memories that made her into the woman she is today - an actress and country music singer.

I spoke with Lola about growing up in this unique family and how they continue to play a role in her life.
