Description: "Fançoise Hardy is best known in Europe for originating the famed "Yé-Yé" sound in pop music that began a cultural scene in the early 1960s. Her teenage success grew as she became an oft-photographed fashion model and actress. Adored for her shy beauty and emotional songwriting, she sang hit songs in French, Italian, German and English. In The Despair of Monkeys, Fançoise bares her soul and tells the true of her relationships, fears, and triumphs, as well as hard-won wisdom, carried from a life well-lived."--Backcover.
