Poker Face by Maureen Callahan

Poker Face by Maureen Callahan

Lady Gaga is a once-in-a-decade artist, the rare instant celebrity whose appearance can become a cultural event. Not since Madonna's breakout success in the mid-1980s has the world witnessed the advent of a pop culture provocateur who mixes high and low culture, the avant-garde with the accessible, 'downtown' authenticity with the sheen of glamorous artifice. This brand-new biography is a must-read for her many fans, as well as anyone interested in her amazing success story. Written by pop culture veteran Maureen Callahan, it is the most comprehensive book on Lady Gaga to date.

Over the past seven years, Maureen Callahan has worked as an editor and writer for the New York Post, covering everything from Lower East Side subcultures to local and national politics. She formerly worked as a journalist for MTV, Sassy, New York magazine, and Spin, where she received an ASCAP-Deems Taylor award for co-authoring Don't Drink the Brown Water, a comprehensive examination of the events leading up to the 1999 Woodstock riots, which was also picked for inclusion in DaCapo's Best Music Writing 2000. For her work at the New York Post, she was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize last year.
