Daisy Jones & The Six

Autor Taylor Jenkins Reid
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 feb 2023

Descoperim aici o lume a exceselor și a geniului creativ care începe cu imaginea unei fetițe pe jumătate sălbatică, Daisy, devenită peste noapte o forță a naturii în universul rock and roll-ului. Notăm cu interes cum Taylor Jenkins Reid nu scrie doar despre muzică, ci despre momentul precis de pe 12 iulie 1979 când totul s-a năruit. Romanul Daisy Jones & The Six funcționează ca o cronică orală, o reconstituire vibrantă a scenei muzicale din epoca Fleetwood Mac, unde tensiunile dintre frații Dunne, ambiția tastaturistei Karen și viciile membrilor trupei se ciocnesc inevitabil. Imaginați-vă tensiunea și aura de legendă din The Singer Sisters, mutată într-un decor de hedonism pur pe coasta de vest a Americii, unde fiecare vers ascunde o trădare. Reținem finețea cu care autoarea explorează dinamica dintre Daisy și Camila — soția solistului — transformând un posibil clișeu al triunghiului amoros într-o meditație profundă despre loialitate și artă. Față de The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, unde strălucirea vechiului Hollywood era filtrată prin confesiunile unei singure dive, aici vocea este colectivă, fragmentată și brutal de sinceră. Stilul este unul evocativ, aproape tactil, reușind să ne facă să auzim muzica unei trupe care, deși fictivă, pare mai reală decât multe legende ale istoriei muzicale. Este o explorare a modului în care mințile creative pot lovi scântei una din alta până când întregul eșafodaj se aprinde și arde complet.

Everyone knows DAISY JONES & THE SIX, but nobody knows the reason behind their split at the absolute height of their popularity . . . until now.

Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock ’n’ roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things.

Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she’s pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road.

Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend.

The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with Daisy Jones & The Six, brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice.

____________________________________
They were the new icons of rock and roll, fated to burn bright and not fade away.
But on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.

There was Daisy, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to superstardom.

There was Camila, the frontman’s wife, too strong-willed to let the band implode – and all too aware of the electric connection between her husband and Daisy.

There was Karen, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman in a world that wasn’t ready for her.

And there were the men surrounding them: the feuding, egotistical Dunne brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a hedonistic world tour. They were creative minds striking sparks from each other, ready to go up in flames.

It’s never just about the music…
