Nico: Life And Lies Of An Icon
Author: Richard Witts
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0753548488
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
Nico was revered as ‘the most beautiful creature who ever lived’. She was Andy Warhol’s femme fatale and the High Preistess of Weird, yet few knew her real name or her wretched origins. When she called herself ‘a Nazi anarchist junkie’, they thought she was joking. Bob Dylan wrote a song about her, Jim Morrison a poem, Jean Baudrillard an essay, Andy Warhol a film, Ernest Hemingway a story – yet she fought against the idolatry of men to assert her independence as a composer of dissident songs. Nico’s contribution as an artist (17 films and 7 LPs) was smothered by gossip of her alleged affairs with men and women, whether Jimi Hendrix or Jeanne Moreau, Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones or Coco Chanel. She drifted through society like a phantom. Each era celebrated a different Nico – the top covergirl of the Fifties, the Siren of the Sixties (as The Times acclaimed her), the Moon Goddess of the Seventies, and the High Priestess of Punk when rock stars like Siouxsie Sioux and Pattie Smith acknowledged her pre-eminence. Ironically, they did so at the lowest point in her life. For behind the Garbo-esque veneer lived a lonely woman trying to stand autonomous in a fast-changing world, seeking to survive her heroin addiction and to cope with her tormented mother and her troubled son, his existence denied by his film-star father. In this pioneer biography, which Nico asked the author to write shortly before her outlandish death in 1988, Richard Witts uncovers the reasons for her subterfuge, and examines the facts surrounding her encounters with terrorist Andreas Baader, the Black Panthers, and the Society for Cutting Up Men. Exclusive contributions from artists such as Jackson Browne, Iggy Pop, Viva, John Cale, David Bailey, Siouxsie Sioux – and many others including her relatives, friends and enemies – make this the definitive biography of an icon who was not only a testament to an era but hitherto unrecognised influence on popular music and style.

Book Description
From USA TODAY bestselling author Alexx Andria comes the second book in the Dirty Sexy Rich series! Nico Donato, the youngest billionaire brother, will stop at nothing to get his woman… Journalist Lauren Hughes needs her job. And if that means writing a feature on Nico Donato—billionaire playboy and primo fantasy material for every straight woman with a pulse—so be it. All she has to do is not be charmed by him. Or tempted. Or invite this sexy, too-hot-to-be-true man into her real world…especially when he has the power to destroy it. The reporter Luxe magazine sent to his penthouse is not who Nico Donato expected. The woman’s gruff exterior and lack of style confuse him. For a staffer at one of New York’s hottest fashion magazines, Ms. Hughes doesn’t appear chic, poised or charming. Despite himself, he’s intrigued. Few women can resist the Donato appeal, but she can—superbly. What’s her deal? When Nico sets a plan in motion to get Lauren closer to him—and inevitably into his bed—he tells himself he’s just having a little fun. But the more he gets to know Lauren, the more time he wants with her. And the more time he gets, the more he wants something he never thought to have…a true connection. Can a jaded reporter open herself up to love, and can a notorious playboy settle down for the right woman? “Dare is Harlequin’s hottest line yet. Every book should come with a free fan. I dare you to try them!” —Tiffany Reiz, international bestselling author Sexy. Passionate. Bold. Discover Harlequin DARE, a new line of fun, edgy and sexually explicit romances for the fearless female.
