Reckless Girl
A Portrait of Joni Mitchell
(Links don't guarantee availability)
"Reckless Daughter is a bewitched, bothered, and bewildered portrayal of ane of the most beautiful and enigmatic artists of a beautiful and enigmatic period of American life. It is touching, mystifying, and revealing in equal parts." ―Mary Gaitskill
"Joni Mitchell, an creative person of innervating and daunting complication, originality, and importance, could accept no better biographer than David Yaffe. He knows the music like the serious musician he is, knows the verse like the literary scholar he is, and is equally attuned to Mitchell's tortured soul. On top of all that, he seems to have interviewed anybody important in Mitchell's life, from her first hubby to Leonard Cohen. Reckless Daughter is nil less than the definitive statement on the life and work of an artist who defies definition." ―David Hajdu, author of Love for Sale: Pop Music in America
"David Yaffe is an artful and incisive critic who writes with such grace and clarity. With Reckless Girl, he makes a effigy every bit iconic every bit Joni Mitchell feel wholly new. This portrait is loaded with revelations, both spiritual and actual. I thought I understood something virtually Mitchell―the way her tough and tender songs movement, her sweet and rebellion―but Yaffe understands everything. What a book." ―Amanda Petrusich, author of Practise Not Sell at Whatever Price: The Wild, Obsessive Chase for the Globe'due south Rarest 78rpm Records
