Shakira! Shakira!
When I agreed to write a biography of Shakira all I knew about her was that she was a popular singer and that she was Colombian, like my late husband. I have so much enjoyed delving into her life story, her music, her humor and her politics. In her print interviews, she usually seems pretty earnest and serious. But lately I've been watching interviews of her on Youtube.com and she can be really funny on television. One interviewer asked her (when she was about 20) if she still lives with her parents. She said, "Oh yes, I live with them. I travel with them. I even sleep with them when I get scared at night." What's difficult is trying to figure out what to include and what to leave out when the book is only suspposed to be 3,500 words.
