Non-Fiction Biography
Material Girl. Immaculate sexpot. Kabbalah
enthusiast. British mum. She has defied
categorization for three decades and remained one of our
greatest living pop icons Madonna:
Like an Icon is a groundbreaking biography that finally
solves the mystery at the heart of Madonna's chameleonlike
existence. Extensively researched and perceptively written
by journalist Lucy O'Brien, it explores the complex
personality and legendary drive that has made Madonna the
most famous female pop artist of our time. O'Brien draws
upon scores of interviews with producers, musicians,
collaborators, lovers, and friends—many of whom have never
spoken so candidly—to examine Madonna's fascinating life.
From her mother's premature death to her dynamic arrival on
the New York club scene to her training for Evita and
beyond, every stage of her life is illuminated.
Unlike any previous Madonna biographer, O'Brien deconstructs
the stereotypes that have plagued the star, whether it was
being labeled a self-indulgent siren for her book Sex
or criticized for exploiting her celebrity status to adopt
baby David in 2006. O'Brien provides an incisive
portrayal, from Madonna's early days dancing at gay clubs in
Detroit to the producers and musicians she both alienated
and amazed in her uncompromising quest to seize on the next
cultural wave.
