Title: The Despair of Monkeys... and Other Trifles - Françoise Hardy - book Summary : The autobiography of Françoise Hardy. A weightless voice, timeless beauty, slender figure, Françoise Hardy was above all a demanding singer-songwriter, appreciated throughout the world, who has inspired several generations since her first success, All the boys and girls , in 1962. For the first time, she reveals the keys to her life. She talks about her childhood in a vacuum, which in no way prepared her for a completely unexpected celebrity, evokes her love affair with Jean-Marie Périer, then with Jacques Dutronc, her husband, and naturally talks about their son, Thomas. Françoise Hardy also looks back on her songs, her collaborations, and her encounters. Over the years, we encounter Dali, Stockhausen, Ionesco, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Elvis Presley, Pauline Réage, Hélène Grimaud, and Michel Houellebecq, as well as all those who meant the most to her: Mireille and Emmanuel Berl, Patrick Modiano, Michel Berger, Serge Gainsbourg, Gabriel Yared, and Etienne Daho. Written with sincerity, lucidity and tenderness, her story allows us to relive familiar episodes, to discover others, and above all to laugh, to dream and to question with her what gives meaning to our existences, joys and sufferings mixed together. Better than a book of memories, a great journey through appearances, where we discover, from childhood to the present day, the inner, artistic and romantic journey of a profoundly singular artist.
