Desperately Seeking Madonna: In Search of the Meaning of the World's Most Famous Woman Paperback - 1992
by Adam Sexton (Editor)
From cartoons to academic essays to tabloid journalism, Madonna has been interpreted in almost every way possible. Here is an original collection of these writings that is almost as diverse as the Material Girl herself which attempts to uncover as many interpretations of Madonna's appeal as is possible. Photographs and cartoons.
First line
In the winter of 1987 I wrote my last published piece of rock and roll criticism, a Jonathan Richman review for a weekly newspaper located in Texas.

Max Goldstein (Cover Photo). 293 pp. Clean, fresh copy with very light shelf wear, crisp pages and clean text. Synopsis: Love her or hate her, Madonna is an inescapable figure in the contemporary cultural landscape. This collection of essays, reviews, cartoons, and ephemera (e.g., Rolling Stone 's annual polls; David Letterman's "Top Ten" list) is an eloquent and often amusing testimony to her persuasiveness. Camille Paglia, Art Buchwald, John Simon, Andrew Greeley, Ellen Goodman, and a host of less-than-household names have a shot at the Woman of a Thousand Phases. The editor offers his own thoughts in a free-ranging introduction that neatly sums up his subject as "the ultimate performance artist."
