Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Madonna’s life — and the relentless ambition that fueled her rise — could be the stuff of a great book. And now Pulitzer finalist Mary Gabriel has taken on the challenge. Gabriel, who wrote about the women who helped invent modern art in “Ninth Street Women,” turns her attention to the Material Girl in “Madonna: A Rebel Life,” out Oct.
10. The book follows Madonna’s journey from suburban Detroit to 1970s New York City, where she began cultivating her star power. Ahead of Madonna’s next world tour (set to launch Oct.
14 in London), Gabriel talks about her subject’s New York days. Madonna has always described her move to New York as courageous, but your book really shows why that’s true. She went to New York in 1977 for a summer course, and that was the year of the “Son of Sam” murders and the blackout.
The idea of a girl like Madonna coming from Michigan — she was gutsy. She had no safety net whatsoever. In New York, Madonna interacted with the likes of Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, and fell in love with Jean-Michel Basquiat. How did that exposure change her? The group of people she was involved with didn’t consider barriers.
You weren’t a singer or a painter or a fashion designer or a filmmaker — you were all of those things. They had this wonderful freedom. I think people misunderstood and resented her — you hear all the time “She’s not a good singer.” Well, she’s not a singer.
She’s a performance artist. She’s a visual artist. She’s a songwriter.
She’s a producer. And in the world she came from, you could be all of those things and you didn’t have to apologize for it. Do you think the city shaped her artistry going forward? There’s so much misunderstanding involving Madonna.

Mark Sutherland Four songs into Madonna’s long-awaited Celebration Tour and a technical hitch gives her a chance to chat for a little longer than was probably planned. She tells the crowd of her early days being “hungry, broke and scared” in New York, with a lack of support from her father, who wanted her to come back home. “But I was not about to go back,” she declares.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Some 25 years ago, Todd Solondz had a hot hand, and he knew it. His film breakthrough, “Welcome to the Dollhouse,” was a Sundance sensation and a surprise hit — surprising, in part, because of its scabrous and brilliantly profane view of life among the petty thugs known as middle-schoolers. So he set out next to write a script as close to unproduceable as he could.
