Sinéad O'Connor: The Last Interview and Other Conversations by Melville House

0.0

I'm unsure why The View interview is referred to as her last interview when Kathryn Ferguson's documentary 'Nothing Compares' (2022) made the same claim. She was on The View two years before her passing. She did several interviews after that. The focus is mostly on interviews from the '90s and '00s. Her queerness was barely visible. It doesn't have any reference to her conversion to Islam, which was a huge part of her identity and healing. She preferred the name Shuhada' Sadaqat, which wasn't mentioned once. Nothing about who she was outside of the peak of her mainstream career and the SNL protest is really covered. It doesn't show care or respect for who she was at the time of her passing. It treats her as a nostalgia trip and a controversial figure who did one act of protest. Her entire life was a protest! She adamantly stood up for the rights of all oppressed peoples. 

I don't know who this is supposed to be for, but it's not for her fans. It feels like a cheap gimmick to make a profit off of a dead queer Muslim woman.
