Munkey Diaries
12 hrs. 10 min.
Description
“The Monkey’s Diary” by Jane Birkin—sincere and candid diaries of the famous singer and actress, wife of Serge Gainsbourg. For little Jane, the jockey-suited monkey—Manki—was her favorite toy that she never let out of her hands. For adult Jane, plush Manki became a talisman: she took it to all important meetings, didn’t get on a plane without it, and didn’t go to the hospital without it either. When Serge Gainsbourg died, Jane placed Manki in his coffin. Maybe that’s because, as a child, Jane didn’t have close girlfriends—so she learned to confide all her secrets to Manki.
The diary entries Jane wrote from the age of eleven are addressed to her plush confidant too. But there’s nothing of a doll in Jane Birkin herself—she is a passionate, brave woman: honest with herself and with others. The singer, actress, and style icon wasn’t afraid to challenge hypocrites and liars: she sang with Gainsbourg the scandalously famous “I Love You… I Love You Too, I Don’t,” appeared in public in shocking outfits, yet remained at the same time a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a caring daughter. An engrossing account of an entire era and the people who lived in it.
