Della serie....mi e' appena arrivato lo stipendio e sento il bisogno di

Lo prenderei al volo se fosse in italiano....
secondo voi faranno la traduzione ?
io la vedo un po' dura.....Fiction era sulla band e poteva avere un po'
di successo, anche se non penso siano state vendute moltissime copie
... spero di sbagliarmi !
Un libro sulla vita di JMS è ancora più per cultori .... spero che
esca la traduzione, magari per Natale, sarebbe un bellissimo regalo !

Una review su questo libro... a quanto pare nulla di nuovo...
October 21, 2006, Saturday
First Edition
BOOK REVIEWS: No sense of the person who is Michael Stipe;
Michael Stipe, The Biography by Rob Jovanovic, Portrait, pounds 16.99.
Reviewed by Hyder Jawad
Michael Stipe is, to use Winston Churchill's quote about Russia, "a riddle
wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma" - and the world of popular music is
richer for it.
Stipe is from Georgia, USA, that bastion of right-wing politics, yet he
spent much of autumn 2004 trying to bring down George W Bush. Stipe is left
wing' Stipe is a vegetarian' Stipe is an environmentalist' Stipe is a
pacifist' Stipe is bisexual.
Much of what Stipe is and does is open to interpretation but, whatever one's
personal taste, it is now a truth universally acknowledged that he is,
musically and lyrically, a genius.
He does not like to be called the leading singer of REM - he is, he says,
just one member of the band - but there is no doubt that he is their
talisman.
He is vocally prominent on REM's biggest hits, Everybody Hurts (1992), Man
On The Moon (1992), and Shiny Happy People (1990), and yet the lyrics could
stand alone as works of poetry.
Books about Stipe and REM abound. Not all are good.
In Michael Stipe: The Biography, Rob Jovanovic rightly portrays his subject
as a complex, paradoxical character. In truth, this is not difficult to
achieve, but this book is more chronicle than portrait.
On the important levels - the depths rather than the shallows - the book
misses easy targets. It says more about what Stipe did rather than speculate
as to why he did it. If this is the author's intention he succeeds, but that
does not make it an inspiring study. Significantly, at the end of the first
chapter, Where's The War?, Jovanovic emphasises Stipe's personality and then
writes: "Let's see here what he has to say?"
We already know what Stipe has to say. It is in the public domain. What does
the author have to say? What does the author think about his subject? What
do the words to Find The River (1992), perhaps REM's most beautiful song,
mean? Alas, we are not told.
The best biographies give us a sense of what the subject is like as a
person. All we discover here is what the subject is like as a master of
popular music, which is already widely known.
Jovanovic's book is worthy of one read, but nothing more.
