Book

Sinéad O'Connor : the last interview and other conversations / with an introduction by Kristin Hersh.

O'Connor, Sinéad, (interviewee.). Hersh, Kristin, (writer of introduction.).

Summary:

A significant collection of interviews with the defiant, controversial, and ground-breaking singer, songwriter, and activist throughout her turbulent career . . .Sinéad O'Connor's music -- both in her songwriting and in her beautiful voice -- addressed both emotional despair and incandescent joy with glorious ardor. But she may have been just as well known for her outspokenness. This collection of interviews covers the entire span of O'Connor's career, from the early days to her last interview. From giddy teenager to seasoned superstar, she speaks candidly about her meteoric rise to fame, and recounts what happened when she ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul II on live television in an act of protest. Unguarded and unpredictable, O'Connor was a woman who electrified the globe: imaginative, opinionated, and eloquent.
