I Dream of Joni: A Portrait of Joni Mitchell in 53 Snapshots

by Henry Alford

  

€ 24.99 

ISBN: 9781668019504

The eternal singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell is seen anew, portrayed through a witty and comprehensive exploration of anecdotes, quotes, and lyrics by Henry Alford, "the most graceful of humorists" (Vanity Fair) and a writer for The New Yorker.

Joni Mitchell's life, psyche, and evolving legacy are explored here in vivid technicolor-from her childhood in Saskatoon, Canada, to her arrival in Laurel Canyon that turned her into, as Alford puts it, "the bard of heartbreak and longing." Each period of Mitchell's life is observed via the artists, friends, family, and lovers she encountered along the way, including James Taylor, Leonard Cohen, Georgia O'Keefe, 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 Margaret, I Dream of Joni explores in fifty-three essays, with the author's trademark wit and verve, the life of the legendary singer-songwriter.
