An updated edition of the bestselling biography to include details of her sixth studio album The Truth About Love which was a worldwide number one hit and the birth of her first child in 2011. Paul Lester traces the extraordinary career of Alicia Beth Moore from Pennsylvania through her stint in the girl group Choice to her present incarnation as global superstar Pink. Split Personality reveals the two sides of this complex artist: the feisty fun-filled performer who at thirty continues to conquer in a teen-dominated industry and the conflicted woman whose dark urges have fuelled her deceptively upbeat glossy brand of hi-tech pop. This is a pop biography that makes for a truly exciting read thats worthy of its electrifying subject!

Not exactly a pleasant trip; but definitely a walk on the wild side.Its set in New York. As the play starts off; Edmond; a man in his mid thirties; goes to see a fortune teller who reads his palm and tells him; "You are not where you are belong..." In the next scene Edmond is at home with his wife. They have the following dialogue:...Edmond: Yes. Alright - I am going.Wife: Will you bring me back some cigarettes?Edmond: Im not coming back.Wife: What?Edmond: Im not coming back.(Pause.)Wife: What do you mean?Edmond: Im going; and Im not going to come back.Wife: Youre not ever coming back?Edmond: No.Just like that Edmond abandons his established life. He then goes to strip clubs; a whorehouse; he walks on the street by three card monte hustlers; he rides on the subway. He becomes agitated by the urban dissonance. He starts to argue with people. He gets in trouble with the law.The play has an interesting style. Its fast paced - the whole thing is one act with 23 scenes. Some of the scenes are very short; less than half a page. Also; theyre somewhat disconnected. One minute Edmonds in a pawnshop; the next; on the subway. Its surreal. I couldnt tell you how long the action takes place over.Ive got mixed feelings about most Mamet plays; but Edmond Ive read several times. I love its fast pace and its bizarro quality.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Edmond is BrilliantBy MaxBecause of the sheer power of one of the plays contained within this book; I have given this collection 4 out of 5 possible stars.Edmond is amazingly stark and real; and offers a complete reversal in character; and the last scene seems like an epiphony. This play is easily my favorite; and I have seen it performed in London by Kenneth Branag; it was most astonishing and brilliant. I have not read or seen either of the two other plays contained within theis volume; but I will say that Edmond is definitely a great reason to buy this book.
