“American Diva: Extraordinary, Unruly, Fabulous” is a collection of essays on divas, past and present. Author Deborah Paredez teaches a university course on the subject matter and I wish I could join to be in the class discussion.
I was introduced to divas I knew little about, i.e. Jomama Jones, and engaged with divas I’ve long worshiped, i.e. Tina Turner. Some chapters were too ethereal for me to connect with, but I enjoyed the author including personal elements in the book and introducing us to the divas in her life.
Three words that describe this book: Reflection. Celebration. Feminine.
You might want to pick this book up if: You admire divas!
