Description

From the Back Cover

Material Girl . . . Immaculate sexpot . . . Superstar . . . Mother . . . Kabbalah enthusiast . . . For three decades she has defied categorization. . . . She remains one of our greatest living pop icons.

Here is the groundbreaking biography that finally solves the mystery at the heart of Madonna's chameleonlike existence. Drawing upon scores of candid interviews with producers, musicians, collaborators, lovers, and friends, Lucy O'Brien's Madonna: Like an Icon explores the complex personality and legendary drive that have made Madonna the most famous female pop artist of our time. From her mother's premature death to Madonna's dynamic arrival on the New York club scene, from "Like a Virgin" to Evita and beyond, every stage of this dazzling star's life and career is brilliantly illuminated--the stereotypes deconstructed, the lies exposed, the artist examined, the legend celebrated.

Review Quotes

"Meticulously chronicled"... [and] absorbing." - USA Today

"O'Brien masterfully weaves together material from her extensive research and interviews to create an engrossing study of Madonna...with candor and serious reflection. The result is a fine study of the life and art of a complex individual. Fans of Madonna will want to read this but so will those interested in the sociology of a pop-culture icon." - Library Journal
