Summary
Lady Gaga is a once-in-a-decade artist, the rare instant celebrity whose appearance can become a cultural event. Not since Madonna’s breakout success in the mid-1980s has the world witnessed the advent of a pop culture provocateur who mixes high and low culture, the avant-garde with the accessible, ‘downtown’ authenticity with the sheen of glamorous artifice. This brand-new biography is a must-read for her many fans, as well as anyone interested in her amazing success story. Written by pop culture veteran Maureen Callahan, it is the most comprehensive book on Lady Gaga to date.
