Madonna: Blonde Ambition - Tapa blanda

The strongest of several [Madonna] biographies....This book profits from Bego's deep familiarity with the modern music industry, whose commercial dynamic he understands without condemning or excusing it....I highly recommend Madonna as a reliable and entertaining introduction to the career of this superstar....Bego vividly documents the carnival-like downtown dance-club scene. He lays all rumors to rest once and for all. Invaluable -- Camille Paglia, Vamps and Tramps

Based in part on interviews with Madonna, this biography focuses closely on her musical accomplishments, her pioneering work in rock videos, her adept manipulations of religious and sexual controversy, and her ability to constantly reinvent her image. Effectively recounting her career while giving equal time to her relationships, Madonna has be been updated with a new chapter that explores her personal and professional exploits in the nineties and beyond, including her latest romantic liaisons, new family, and multifaceted career. The result is a revealing, intimate, and unauthorized portrait of the greatest pop diva of our time.
