{"product_id":"love-me-please-christopher-9781681122762","title":"Love Me Please!: The Story of Janis Joplin","description":"A biography in comics of the amazing rock singer Janis Joplin with the highlights of her journey from childhood after the Second World War to her abrupt death in late 1970. It is one of the most fabulous musical adventures in America of the second half of the twentieth century, yet it lasted only five years. How did a very young, messed up woman, a drug addict filled with doubt, become a planetary icon of rock music in a few years? Thanks to a worldwide movement of emancipation which would consecrate for a long time the ideals and modes of alternative lifestyles from counterculture to the flower power generation, Janis, the ugly duckling, gave free rein to her impulses. Fed by the thirst for freedom of the Beat Generation and the desire for emancipation expressed by American youth in the early 1960s, Janis Joplin left for San Francisco, the epicenter of cultural innovation. There, she abandoned herself to all impulses, overcoming without hesitation all the taboos of the time: bisexuality, alcohol, and drugs, doing so not only with delight, but with the taste for excess which came naturally from her spontaneous character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher, Nicolas Finet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681122766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681122762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.08h x 7.56w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2021 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/02\/2021","brand":"Christopher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049656119551,"sku":"9781681122762","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_abcdd3d6-3a09-4421-9cc8-5c717a941ee6.jpg?v=1685002759","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/love-me-please-christopher-9781681122762","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
