Résumé :
|
What could possibly connect the American rock star Prince and the nineteenth-century British novelist Charles Dickens ? For Nick Hereby, both artists caught fire and lit up the world in ways no others could. No one else had such a relentless work ethic and produced such a staggeringly original and enormous body of work. Where did their magic come from ? How did they use it ? And, in the end, did it kill them ? Tracing their extraordinary lives, from their difficult beginnings to the women they fell for, to their limitless energy for work, to their money and the movies, Dickens and Prince is a brilliantly surprising and joyous uncovering of the essence of a very particular kind of genius.
