dbo:abstract
  • Life with My Sister Madonna es una biografía escrita por el coreógrafo, bailarín y director de gira Christopher Ciccone y la autora Wendy Leigh, publicado el 14 de julio de 2008 por Simon Spotlight Entertainment. Considerado un libro testimonial, son memorias sobre la relación de Ciccone con su hermana, la artista estadounidense Madonna, y detalla momentos personales con la cantante y aspectos desconocidos de su vida. La relación entre ambos había empeorado con los años, luego de que se negara a contratarlo como director de su gira Drowned World Tour de 2001. Escribir el libro fue una catarsis para Ciccone, quien contactó a Leigh y desarrollaron el trabajo en secreto; Simon Spotlight Entertainment aceptó publicarlo tras realizarse una subasta entre numerosas editoriales. Madonna, que no estaba al tanto del proyecto, se molestó pero no pudo detener la publicación. Simon Spotlight Entertainment vendió el libro «a ciegas» a los minoristas, con la expectativa de que crearía un revuelo mediático dado el contenido y la naturaleza de las memorias. En términos generales, recibió reseñas negativas a variadas de la crítica literaria, que reprobó el contenido y consideró irónico que Ciccone usara el nombre de Madonna para beneficiarse mientras que al mismo tiempo la criticaba. Sumado a ello, otros periodistas creyeron que no reveló nada notable. Desde el punto de vista comercial, ingresó en el segundo puesto de la categoría no-ficción en la lista de los más vendidos de The New York Times y vendió 35 000 copias. (es)

Writing the book was a catharsis for him and he contacted Leigh. Together they developed the project secretly and offered it to Simon Spotlight Entertainment for publication. Madonna, who was not aware of the release, was annoyed by it but failed to stop its publication. Simon Spotlight Entertainment sold the book blindly to the retailers, with the expectation that it would create a media uproar for the contents and the nature of the memoir. Life with My Sister Madonna received negative reviews from book critics. Reviewers panned the content and felt it was ironic that Ciccone would use Madonna's name to cash-in while at the same time trashing her. They also felt that the book revealed nothing noteworthy. Commercially, the book debuted at number two on The New York Times Best Seller list, and went on to sell 35,000 copies. (en)
