Lola bensky

Lola Bensky is a nineteen-year-old rock journalist who irons her hair straight and asks a lot of questions. A high-school dropout, she is not sure how she got the job - but she has been sent by her Australian newspaper right to the heart of the London music scene at the most exciting time in music history: 1967. Lola spends her days planning diets and interviewing rock stars. In London, Mick Jagger makes her a cup of tea, Jimi Hendrix propositions her and Cher borrows her false eyelashes. At the Monterey International Pop Festival, Lola props up Brian Jones and talks to Janis Joplin about sex. In Los Angeles, she discusses being overweight with Mama Cass and tries to pluck up the courage to ask Cher to return those false eyelashes. Lola has an irrepressible curiosity, but she begins to wonder whether the questions she asks these extraordinary young musicians are really a substitute for questions about her parents' calamitous past that cannot be asked or answered. As Lola moves on through marriage, motherhood, psychoanalysis and a close relationship with an unexpected pair of detectives, she discovers the question of what it means to be human is the hardest one for anyone to answer. Drawing on her own experiences as a young journalist, the author has created an unforgettable character in the unconventional and courageous Lola.

  • "Lola Bensky ist neunzehn, als Keith Moon von The Who vor ihren Augen die Hosen runterlässt und Cher sich ihre falschen Wimpern borgt. Es sind die Sixties, und Lola ist als Reporterin in London und New York unterwegs, um Interviews mit Musikern zu führen. Sie unterhält sich mit Mick Jagger über Sex und Diäten, mit Jimi Hendrix über Mütter, Gott - und Lockenwickler. Ihre Leser sind vermutlich eher an Tratsch interessiert, aber Lola war schon immer etwas unkonventionell. Zum Glück ahnen ihre Eltern nichts davon, dass sie mit Menschen zu tun hat, die mit freier Liebe und Drogen experimentieren. Sie haben das Konzentrationslager überlebt, aber das würde sie ins Grab bringen. Und Lola fühlt sich schon schuldig genug, dass sie Übergewicht hat und keine Anwältin geworden ist. Doch sie ist fest entschlossen, ihr Leben in die eigenen Hände zu nehmen. >>Lola Bensky<< ist ein hinreißend komischer und herzzerreißend menschlicher Roman über Neurosen und die Last der Vergangenheit. Und eine fulminante Hommage an die großen, verrückten Heldinnen und Helden der Sixties."

Lola Bensky, 19 ans, fille de deux rescapés d'Auschwitz, est journaliste pour le magazine australien Rock-out, en dépit de son absence de diplôme et de sa méconnaissance de l'univers du rock. Les échanges de la jeune fille modèle au tour de taille imposant avec les icônes du rock révèlent de surprenants portraits de ces derniers et nourrissent sa quête identitaire.--[Memento]."
