Rita Lee: A Biography

"From the first flying saucer to the last drunk, Rita is consistent. Courageous. Without any guilt. So much so that, when reading the book, we often have the sensation of being faced with an unauthorized biography, such is the honesty in the stories. Childhood and the first steps in artistic life; his arrest in 1976; the meeting of souls with Roberto de Carvalho; the birth of his children, songs and classic albums; the stumbles and the glories. It's all there. And you can be sure: this it is the most personal work she could give as a gift to us. Rita took care of everything. She wrote it, chose the photos and created the captions - and even decided the order of the images -, made the cover, thought of the back cover, the ears. She delivered the book like this: ready. Its essence is in these pages. And that's exactly how Globo Livros puts the autobiography of our biggest star on the market."
