内容説明
This is the outrageous, yet surprisingly moving, memoir of a girl who fled the Iranian Revolution - and found her salvation in the deliriously sexy life of a rock-'n'-roll groupie. Honest, provocative, and vividly written, "The Last Living Slut" is the memoir of Roxana Shirazi, who was raised traditionally in Tehran. After her family spirits her to the West in flight from the Iranian Revolution, Shirazi is led far astray by the sound - and the sex appeal - of rock and roll. Caught between her sexual appetites, passion for music (and musicians), and fear of being a bad seed, Shirazi bares her soul to offer a raw account of her life as an eager-to-please rock groupie. With appearances by members of Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Velvet Revolver, and many more, "The Last Living Slut" is a moving memoir of growing up in the political turbulence of Tehran; an unflinching portrayal of teenage cultural dislocation in London; a backstage romp that makes Pamela Des Barres' "I'm with the Band" read like a nun's diary; and, a white-knuckled tale of jilted love and brutal revenge.

Couldn't put it down!

形式:ハードカバー
A friend of mine received an advance review copy of this book and passed it to me when she was done. I was curious but wasn't expecting to like this book nearly as much as I did. Be warned - it's not for the faint of heart. Shirazi is explicit and frank about the sexual abuse she endured as a child, and she details her sexual exploits with the bands she's slept with in very vivid detail. Some of it is sexy, some of it is at times too much - but I guarantee you won't be able to look away. Even at the darkest points in the story, this book is impossible to stop reading. It is an honest story by an author who is unafraid to present herself exactly as she is. Her childhood in Iran is described well and that history explains why she went in search of freedom and sexual liberation in the rock and roll world once she was exposed to it. But she found that it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. She realized that the only freedom she could count on was to be who she is. She doesn't have all of the answers, and the book doesn't offer a nice, simple happy ending - and for that I liked it even more. She has found peace with herself and that's all anyone can want. All in all highly recommended!

Better than expected!
2010/6/2
形式:ハードカバー
Although the title made me wary, I was pleasantly surprised after reading this book. When I heard this was another groupie tell-all, I already envisioned what the story was going to be about, but I decided to give it a shot anyways. The tale is explicit, but has a completely different vibe than other rocker stories. Her story is very dark and emotionally compelling. Actually, the first half has nothing to do with rock and roll. Instead, she talks about her journal to sexual maturity, from her childhood in Iran to escaping to London, and all of the difficulties and heartbreak she experienced. She chronicles her whole life, from childhood to groupie-status, sharing her most explicit stories about her sexcapades with various rockers (all of which she names!). Maybe not a story for the more conservative types, but nevertheless a great read-- actually found myself unable to put it down. Not to mention the language is poetic and flowing, making the story easy to read and follow. Don't be scared off by the title-- give it a chance, you will be pleasantly surprised!

Dark and Moving

Far more than a kiss and tell tale of groupie partying, this book beautifully delivers the story of a women coping with childhood sexual abuse and repression. While there are familiar names throughout the book, Roxana's story is compelling without the Hollywood hype. Highly recommended.
