The
First Time
by
Cher, Jeff Coplon
|
| A collection of short, easily
digestible anecdotesof her first Rolling Stones concert, her first solo
recording, her first wedding ceremony told by Cher and committed to paper
in a tone of talkiness that seems to come straight from the tape recorder.
Each brief recollection, some not more than a paragraph in span, stands
on its own, but the separate reflections combine to tell the larger story
of Chers bumpy rise from poor sassy kid and naive starlet to independent
singer and award-winning actress. Much to her credit, Cher has bypassed
the common pitfall of the confessional genre: that of over -analyzing minor
events and attributing to them major, long-term outcomes. Instead, the
memories are stated sparsely; she doesnt spend too much time explaining
them or justifying them emotionally. The result: a lighter, more enjoyable
read. |
