A ROUGH TRADE, MOJO, UNCUT & LOUDER THAN WAR BOOK OF THE YEAR SHORTLISTED FOR THE RALPH J. GLEASON MUSIC BOOK AWARD A redemptive, myth-shattering biography of one of the twentieth century`s most underestimated creative and artistic forces. `Here is the Odyssey of Nico . . . a scholarly and detailed chronicle of this brilliant artist, who was spurned and tortured for her trouble.` - IGGY POP `At last, a comprehensive and compelling book about Nico.` - VIV ALBERTINE `Absorbs from start to finish.` - OBSERVER The real story of Nico is one of determination, self-destruction and belief in one`s artistic vision, at any cost . . . You Are Beautiful and You Are Alone is an empowering reappraisal of an underappreciated icon. Drawing upon new interviews and rare archival material Bickerdike defies the sexist casting of Nico`s life as the tragedy of a beautiful woman losing her youth and fame, and instead cements her legacy as one of the most vital artists of her generation. `Gripping.` - THE TIMES `[This] book gets closer to understanding Nico than most.` - GUARDIAN `Deserves to sit with the great biographies.` - RECORD COLLECTOR `A compassionate portrait of a musician whose artistry has often been overlooked.` - MOJO `Valuable . . . Bickerdike gives Nico her due as an artist.` - THE SPECTATOR `Entertainingly written and insightful.` - INDEPENDENT `The best music book you will read this year.` - LOUDER THAN WAR
