Throughout the 1970s, a young journalist named Linda Kuehl interviewed more than 150 people with the intention of writing a biography about Billie Holiday. Kuehl died in 1978 without those interviews getting published, but her recordings would later become the raw material for this extraordinary approximation to the life of Billie Holiday. Too often we are presented with a simplistic and sensationalist version of Billie Holiday, a tragic victim of her own eccentricities. These unedited interviews offer us a much more profound and intimate glimpse into her versatile personality, and Kuehl supplements the interviewees’ testimonies and confessions with details obtained from the archives of various health institutions, court transcripts, royalties liquidations, shopping lists, postcards, and private correspondence.

A lo largo de la d�cada de los setenta, una joven periodista llamada Linda Kuehl entrevist� a m�s de 150 personas con el prop�sito de escribir una biograf�a de Billie Holiday. Kuehl muri� en 1978 sin que esas entrevistas llegaran a ser publicadas, pero sus grabaciones sobrevivir�an para acabar convirti�ndose en la materia prima de esta extraordinaria aproximaci�n a la vida de la gran dama del jazz de los Estados Unidos. Con demasiada frecuencia se nos presenta a Billie Holiday de un modo simplista y sensacionalista, como una tr�gica v�ctima de sus propias excentricidades. Estas entrevistas in�ditas nos ofrecen una visi�n mucho m�s profunda e �ntima de su vers�til personalidad, y Kuehl complementa los testimonios y las confesiones de los entrevistados con datos obtenidos en los archivos de diversas instituciones sanitarias, transcripciones de causas judiciales, liquidaciones de royalties, listas de la compra, postales y correspondencia privada.
