A New Yorker humorist and journalist presents a witty and insightful exploration of Joni Mitchellâs iconic career, delving into her relationships, artistry and personal journey through 53 essays that blend anecdotes, quotes and lyrics with sharp humor. - Simon and Schuster
In this nationally bestselling âdelightful compendium of everything you ever wanted to know aboutâ (The Washington Post) Joni Mitchell, the eternal singer-songwriter is seen anew, portrayed through a witty and comprehensive exploration of anecdotes, quotes, lyrics by Henry Alford, âthe most graceful of humoristsâ (Vanity Fair) and a writer for The New Yorker.
Joni Mitchellâs life, psyche, and evolving legacy are explored here in âthe greatest Joni book everâ (Francine Prose, New York Times bestselling author of Lovers at the Chameleon Club). From her childhood in Saskatoon, Canada, to her transformative years in Laurel Canyon that turned her into, as Alfred puts it, âthe bard of heartbreak and longing,â this definitive biography examines an artist celebrated by Rolling Stone as âone of the greatest songwriters ever.â Each period of Mitchellâs life is observed via the artists, friends, family, and lovers she encountered along the way, including James Taylor, Leonard Cohen, Georgia OâKeefe, Prince, and, most significantly, Kilauren, the daughter Mitchell gave up for adoption at birth but then reconnected with decades later.
Presented in the impressionistic vein of Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margret, I Dream of Joni explores in fifty-three essays, with the authorâs critically acclaimed trademark wit and verve, the life of the legendary singer-songwriter.
