Overview

Amanda Lear - one of the rare artists who turned her own legend into a work of art - has drifted through the decades like a deliberate mirage. Dalí's muse, disco icon, television queen, an elegant creature woven from mystery and laughter, she has always played with mirrors: the flattering ones, the deceptive ones, and the ones that shield. In Amanda Lear, the one who didn't exist, Christian Soleil dives into this elusive figure shaped by scattered truths, flamboyant boldness, and a sense of humor as sharp as a golden blade. Who is Amanda Lear, really? Where did she come from - and above all, why did she choose to be multiple, fluid, almost fictional? Blending investigation and sensibility, the author retraces the path of a life scripted by its own heroine, navigating archives, memories, confidences, and flashes of pop culture. This book reveals the inner workings of a modern myth - a woman who, by blurring the lines, may have ended up telling more truth than if she had exposed it plainly. A journey into the heart of someone who never stopped dancing on the edge of her own enigma. A star that shines because she refuses to be pinned down. A story showing how, sometimes, not existing becomes the most dazzling way to exist.
