El libro de referencia sobre Alaska, una de las artistas más importantes de nuestro país, columna vertebral de la movida y la edad de oro del pop español.
Alaska y otras historias de la movida se publicó por primera vez hace más de veinte años. Por aquel entonces, el fenómeno cultural y social denominado movida cumplía sus primeras dos décadas. Aún era una corriente por reivindicar y la historia de Alaska, una de sus máximas representantes, todavía no había sido contada. Tampoco lo hacía en su totalidad este libro, que inicia el relato vital de la artista a partir de su infancia en México, su llegada a España siendo una niña, sus precoces experiencias musicales con Kaka de Luxe, su irrupción definitiva en el nuevo panorama musical con Alaska y los Pegamoides, y concluye con su consolidación como estrella gracias al éxito de Deseo carnal, el segundo álbum de Dinarama, que coincide también con el fin de la movida, que pasa de ser una manifestación cultural espontánea a convertirse en una etiqueta que, con el paso del tiempo, va perdiendo parte de su significado real.
Alaska y otras historias de la movida no es un libro sobre música. Es una narración que cuenta la historia de una serie de personajes, siempre con Alaska como principal protagonista, que durante unos años cruciales para España cambiaron su devenir cultural. Es un híbrido entre el ensayo y la biografía que se lee como una novela, también porque ya han pasado más de cuatro décadas desde que todo esto sucedió. Cuatro décadas en las que el mundo ha cambiado hasta unos límites inimaginables, para bien y para mal. Es por eso mismo que esta obra, descatalogada desde hace mucho y convertida en libro de culto, pedía una reedición. La esencia de lo que ocurrió entonces en Madrid y de lo que vivieron Alaska, Nacho Canut, Carlos Berlanga, Ana Curra, Eduardo Benavente, Paloma Chamorro, Pedro Almodóvar, Fabio de Miguel, Javier Furia, Luis Miguélez, Pablo Pérez Minguez, Blanca Sánchez y otras figuras imprescindibles de aquel momento queda reflejada en estas páginas. Un poderoso coro de voces que hace de este relato una experiencia adictiva.
Respetando la versión original del libro, e incluyendo una introducción de la periodista Elena Cabrera, Alaska y otras historias de la movida vuelve a las librerías. El texto está acompañado por fotografías tomadas por el propio autor en sus años formativos como creador del fanzine Estricnina, una tarea que propició su primer contacto y sus primeras entrevistas con Alaska y demás protagonistas de esta historia. La misma vieja historia sigue sonando nueva porque de lo que habla en realidad es de pasiones, amistad, traiciones, celos, identidad y ambiciones. Existen otros libros sobre la movida, pero ninguno es como este.
