Description: The Despair Of Monkeys And Other Trifles by Jon E. Graham Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Francoise Hardy shares her iconic life and memories in this brutally honest memoir of love, loss, and wisdom. Publisher Description Francoise Hardy is best known in Europe for originating the famed "Ye-Ye" sound in pop music which began a cultural scene in the early 1960s. Her teenage success grew as she became a much-photographed fashion model and actress. Adored for her shy beauty and emotional songwriting, she sang hit songs in French, Italian, and German. In The Despair of Monkeys and Other Trifles, she bares her soul and tells the truth of her relationships, fears, and triumphs as well as the hard-won wisdom carved from a life well-lived.This unusually-titled memoir has sold millions of copies in its French, German, Italian, and Spanish editions in recent years. This first English-language release is expertly translated by Jon E. Graham. The book contains dozens of images in addition to Hardys intimate recollections of her upbringing and career.I was for a very long time passionately in love with her, as Im sure shes guessed. Every male in the world, and a number of females also were, and we all still are. - David BowieFrancoise was the ultimate pin-up of most hip bedroom walls, and I know for a fact that Brian Jones and Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and many other pop stars were desperately interested in having Francoise Hardy become their girlfriend in some way. - Malcolm McLaren Author Biography Françoise Hardy -- at the beginning of her career, at least -- covered more stylistic ground and owed more debts to pop/rock than shes given credit for. Immensely popular in her native France, the chanteuse first displayed her breathy, measured vocals in the early and mid-60s. Her (mostly self-penned) recordings from that era draw from French pop traditions, lightweight 50s teen idol rock, girl groups, and sultry jazz and blues -- sometimes in the same song. The material is perhaps too unreservedly sentimental for some (in the French tradition), but the songs are invariably catchy and the production, arrangements, and near-operatic backup harmonies excellent, at times almost Spector-esque. Fans of Marianne Faithfulls mid-60s work can find something of a French equivalent here, though Hardys material was stronger and her delivery more confident.
