Thank you for the quick response. I am very surprised my issue was resolved so quickly. Another ebook store gave me a hard time before (months of wait and still not resolved), which was why I started shopping at this web site.

Army of She: Icelandic, Iconoclastic, Irrepressible Bjork

Wearing thick glasses, speaking in her thick Icelandic accent, and, well, seeming a touch thick, Bjork stormed the public consciousness in 2000 as an unlikely heroine in the experimental musical film Dancer in the Dark. Army of She is an in-depth look at the woman who first took the public stage twenty-three years ago, analyzing her rise from child prodigy to punk anarchist to New Wave novelty (as member of the Sugarcubes) to hit soloist to film star.

Army of She

Icelandic, Iconoclastic, Irrepressible Bj�rk

Chapter One

PREFATORY EPISODE:

In which the narrator explains the whole "e-Bj�rk" concept, and falls in love with a sound

Bj�rk Gudmundsd�ttir was about twenty years into her career before I liked her. This places me somewhere in between the two groups of people most likely to be reading these words: those of you who heard about the numerous awards and award nominations for her role in the film Dancer in the Dark promptly said to yourselves, "What is this thing called Bj�rk? And why is she wearing a swan?" and conducted the appropriate web searches; and those of you who are Bj�rkophiles, collectors of her every white-label remix and guest vocal appearance, connoisseurs of all things Bj�rk-even e-books by comparative greenhorns.

This is not a biography. No interviews were conducted especially for it, no new information worth bragging about is revealed, long blocks of time and pieces of work (those excruciatingly jaunty Sugarcubes tracks) are completely skipped over. An excellent, detailed, thoughtful overview of the artist's life up until 1996 has already been presented by English journalist Martin Aston in the book Bj�rkgraphy.
