THE NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NOW A MAJOR FILM, STARRING STEVE CARELL AND BAFTA AND GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATED TIMOTHEE CHALAMET ?What had happened to my beautiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong?... Those are the wrenching questions that haunted every moment of David Sheff?s journey through his son Nic?s addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Before Nic Sheff became addicted to crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny, a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole, and lived on the streets.With haunting candour, David Sheff traces the first subtle warning signs: the denial, the 3am phone calls (is it Nic? the police? the hospital?), the attempts at rehab. His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself, and the obsessive worry and stress took a tremendous toll. But as a journalist, he instinctively researched every avenue of treatment that might save his son and refused to give up on Nic. This story is a first: a teenager's addiction from the parent's point of view ? a real-time chronicle of the shocking descent into substance abuse and the gradual emergence into hope. Beautiful Boy is a fiercely candid memoir that brings immediacy to the emotional rollercoaster of loving a child who seems beyond help. Read the other side of Nic Sheff's bestselling memoir, Tweak. Praise for Beautiful Boy:- 'A brilliant, harrowing, heartbreaking, fascinating story, full of beautiful moments and hard-won wisdom. This book will save a lot of lives and heal a lot of hearts'. Anne Lamott 'An important book... moving, timely and startlingly beautiful.' Richard Branson

John Lennon et Yoko Ono. L'ultime entretien
A l'arrière d'une limousine ou au fond d'un studio d'enregistrement, dans l'immense appartement sur Central Park ou un petit café de Columbus Avenue, David Sheff a laissé défiler la bande de son magnéto, réalisant, jour après jour pendant trois semaines, ces entretiens en profondeur avec le couple Lennon/Ono. C'était à l'automne 1980, et l'ancien Beatle se sentait renaître. Après plusieurs années de silence, il voulait parler, faire partager sa joie de composer un nouveau disque, Double Fantasy, d'élever son fils Sean, de vivre et rêver avec Yoko, à quarante ans. " Nous n'avons pas besoin de publicité, nous avons besoin d'expliquer ce que nous faisons... " D'où cette longue mise au point, véritable retour sur son expérience des années 1960-1970 à travers le vécu du couple : l'évolution des rôles féminin/masculin, l'éducation, la famille recomposée, les crises personnelles (la dérive alcoolique de Lennon au début de la décennie, la pratique du fameux " cri primal " du Dr Janov...), l'exposition médiatique, les limites de l'engagement, la création artistique, ou encore l'impossible reformation des Beatles, dont Lennon s'attache à passer en revue tout le catalogue, expliquant la genèse des chansons avec beaucoup de franchise. Pas de faux-semblants. Ici, plus qu'une icône, on retrouve, saisi dans son intimité, un couple terriblement sympathique, spirituel, passionné et drôle. " Ce sera le livre de référence ! " lançait John à David Sheff. Deux mois plus tard, le 8 décembre, Lennon était abattu, et ce livre prenait la forme d'un testament.EpuiséVOIR PRODUIT18,30 € -

The storyteller
THE SUNDAY TIMES NO 1 BESTSELLER * ONE OF NME's BEST MUSIC BOOKS OF 2021 * ONE OF VARIETY'S BEST MUSIC BOOKS OF 2021 * INCLUDED IN AUDIBLE'S BEST OF THE YEAR LISTSo, I?ve written a book. Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities (?It?s a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!?), I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I?ve recorded and can?t wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child. This certainly doesn?t mean that I?m quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it?s like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters?the list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.Sur commande en 6-10 joursCOMMANDER13,00 €
