Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. It s hard to imagine any literary hell worse than the fawning, fan-written biography. Early on in this saccharine disservice to Simone s long, complex and utterly fascinating life we learn that co-author Nathan (who five years ago penned an equally effusive tome entitled The Soulful Divas) formed the very first Nina Simone Appreciation Society in 1965 and that Hampton, his baby sister, soon followed in his zealous footsteps. Armed with a thesaurus worth of adjectives for "fabulous," Hampton and Nathan detail every meeting, every airport greeting, every conversation with their beloved, revealing a lot more about themselves and their sadly disproportionate idolization than they do about Simone (clearly not realizing that the average reader could care a whit about the authors workaday lives), in the sort of gushy, syrupy prose usually reserved for teenage girls diaries.
