Synopsis
BONO is a book-length series of discussions conducted from 2002 to 2004 in a variety of locations, including Dublin, Paris, and Nice, between U2 frontman Bono and French journalist Michka Assayas. The book finds Bono by turns playful, deeply philosophical, enthusiastic, and reflective on subjects as disparate as the death of his father, the day-to-day workings of U2, and his many political involvements. Assayas, who first met the band as a young reporter for a French music magazine in the early 1980s, draws out the not exactly shy and retiring star in a kind of elongated public therapy session. The interviewer is ideally suited to his task; he's not a slavish fan of the band, a fact reflected in the freewheeling to-and-fro of their exchanges. (At one point he asks the singer, "Aren't you out of touch with reality?") To his credit, Bono responds wholeheartedly to the intellectual stimulation, and the many fascinating conversations that result, on subjects including Bono's relationship with Bob Dylan, his attitude towards money, and the unexpected pressures of fame, shed light on the inner workings of one of the most intriguing figures in early-21st-century rock music.

Publisher's Note
A portrait of the Grammy Award-winning lead singer of U2 discusses how his life and achievements defy rock-star clichTs, describing his transformation from a post-punk band singer to one of the industry's most famous figures, his long-time marriage to his childhood sweetheart, and his work as a spokesperson for Third-World issues.

Industry Reviews
"[W]orldly-wise, all-knowing and well-connected...there's a subversive pleasure when a dent emerges in his omniscience...."
Uncut (05/31/2005)

"[T]he book's long-form q&a format...reveals an acerbic sense of humor and genuine humility."
Publishers Weekly (03/21/2005)
