In this book written by Daniele Lucchini and published by Arcana Edizioni, Dolores O'Riordan & The Cranberries. Parole di una star riluttante. Testi commentati (which sounds in English as Dolores O'Riordan & The Cranberries. Words of a reluctant star. Comments on the lyrics), the song lines by Dolores O’Riordan become a lens to discover with her own eye the person much more than the star. From song to song and from album to album, a philologically rigorous and delicate portrait of the Irish songwriter is unveiled with the elegance of a narrative work.
The rich and widely documented study by Daniele Lucchini (a connoisseur of literature and art, who is also pretty into 80’s and 90’s European rock music) issued by Arcana Edizioni (the historic main Italian publisher of books and essays about rock and contemporary music) is the very first monograph ever written on Dolores O'Riordan and her lyrics.
