The book touches on personal loss, parting
with major record companies, and a hiatus
from recording. Jones recently discussed
today’s new crop of musical provocateurs,
calling out a few of today’s starlets for their
lack of future plans. She is definitely aware of
her cultural influence and legacy.
A life and persona too big to be captured in a
single autobiography, I’ll Never Write My
Memoirs provides the reader a rare and
intimate glimpse inside the private thoughts of
an enduring cultural icon. However, the book
does not reveal the complete mystique of
Grace Jones. She concludes with these
thoughts: “I think of myself as someone who is
always adding to what they do, as part of a
never-ending story, and the latest chapter is as
valid as anything else. I am always becoming
something. I am always turning into
something else.” What a thrilling yet exciting
proposition for readers and fans as they
follow Jones’ creative journey long after they
finish the last chapter of Memoirs.
