FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description From the acclaimed, controversial singer-songwriter Sinéad OConnor comes a revelatory memoir of her fraught childhood, musical triumphs, struggles with illness, and of the enduring power of song.Blessed with a singular voice and a fiery temperament, Sinéad OConnor rose to massive fame in the late 1980s and 1990s with a string of gold records. By the time she was twenty, she was world-famous--living a rock-star life out loud. From her trademark shaved head to her 1992 appearance on Saturday Night Live when she tore up Pope John Paul IIs photograph, Sinéad has fascinated and outraged millions. In Rememberings, OConnor recounts her painful tale of growing up in Dublin in a dysfunctional, abusive household. Inspired by a brothers Bob Dylan records, she escaped into music. She relates her early forays with local Irish bands; we see Sinéad completing her first album while eight months pregnant, hanging with Rastas in the East Village, and soaring to unimaginable popularity with her cover of Princes "Nothing Compares 2 U."Intimate, replete with candid anecdotes and told in a singular form true to her unconventional career, Sinéads memoir is a remarkable chronicle of an enduring and influential artist. Author Biography SINÉAD OCONNOR is an Irish singer-songwriter and recording artist. She rose to international fame in 1990 with her arrangement of Princes "Nothing Compares 2 U," and her critically acclaimed albums have won or been nominated for five Grammys. She lives in Ireland. Review "Like her recordings, Sinead OConnors book veers between defiance and pain. She rejoices as she remembers the first time she had her head shaved ...but several of the longer set pieces recount terrifying encounters in vivid detail. The naked and fearless emotions that made Sinead OConnor such a riveting artist, shine through her words and self-awareness...in the end, she emerges as a survivor." -- New York Times Book Review"Sinéads voice on the page is as fearless, riveting and unforgettable as her voice in song. The cadence alone is hypnotic, her story essential. Rememberings is a must-read." -- Michael Stipe, lead singer of R.E.M. "A brutally honest account of an extraordinary life." -- Carson Daly, The Today Show"OConnor has had a tumultuous life: stealing, getting thrown out of school, running away, parental abuse....idiosyncratic and poignant." -- Booklist "A self-aware confessional from a successful and controversial musician." -- Kirkus Reviews"The idiosyncratic singer-songwriter takes readers on an emotional roller coaster in this unapologetic, soul-baring debut...This page-turner will enthrall the singers fans." -- Publishers Weekly"Full of heart, humour and remarkable generosity." -- The Guardian Review Quote "OConnor has had a tumultuous life: stealing, getting thrown out of school, running away, parental abuse . . . idiosyncratic and poignant." -- Booklist Details ISBN0358695260 Pages 304 Language English Year 2022 ISBN-10 0358695260 ISBN-13 9780358695264 Format Paperback Country of Publication United States Publication Date 2022-06-28 AU Release Date 2022-06-28 NZ Release Date 2022-06-28 US Release Date 2022-06-28 UK Release Date 2022-06-28 Publisher Dey Street Books Imprint Dey Street Books DEWEY 782.42166092 Audience General Imprint US Dey Street Books Publisher US HarperCollins Illustrations Illustrations Author Sinéad OConnor We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
