"Mein Essay über Lady Gaga erzählt von Sonderwegen. Von dem eines jungen Mädchens namens Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, das zu Lady Gaga wurde, von meinem - und dem meiner Freunde. Von Partys und Drag, Outsidertum und Selbstfindung, von spätem Coming-of-Age und davon, wie man jedes bisschen Mut zusammenkratzt, um das zu werden, was man schon immer sein wollte. Die einzelnen Abschnitte führen ins Dorf und in die Kleinstadt, nach Köln und New York, auf Konzert- und Lesebühnen, an den Schreibtisch und in den Club. Lady Gaga liefert den Soundtrack und die Attitüde dazu."

Un personaje tan excéntrico que junto a él, los demás excéntricos parecen sólo individualistas; un ícono pop, una leyenda reciente, un ente futurista y alienígena, sexual y travesti, Lady Gaga es todo eso y más. Con su apoteósico debut musical a los 22 años, dejó en la carrera a estrellas como Cristina Aguilera, Britney Spears y a la misma Madonna, proclamándose como la indiscutible dueña de la corona pop, y adueñándose para siempre de un espacio musical y artístico que el público ansiaba sin saberlo.

This book is about Lady Gaga's dynamic creativity in the music world, her influences, her crossover success, and her place in the modernist movement in the arts.
