  • "Madonna is the biggest female pop star in the world yet there is no serious biography of her, and no biography at all by a woman. Existing books are either gossipy style manuals or rehashes of press cuttings and they all end in 2001 with Madonna's marriage to Guy Ritchie. Yet her story hardly ends there, as evinced by her two record-breaking world tours since then ... Lucy O'Brien's extensive and well-researched biography looks at Madonna the artist, giving detailed analysis of her music, complete with revealing interviews with musicians and producers. It focuses on her cultural impact and the way she uses cinema, photography, visual art, theatre and dance in her work. It takes an in-depth look at how - and, more to the point, why - Madonna has reinvented herself through her twenties, thirties, forties, and will no doubt do so again in her fifties."

  • "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."@en
