"When we really see each other, we want to help each other (Amanda Palmer). Imagine standing on a box in the middle of a busy city, dressed as a white-faced bride, and silently using your eyes to ask people for money. Or touring Europe in a punk cabaret band, and finding a place to sleep each night by reaching out to strangers on Twitter. For Amanda Palmer, actions like these have gone beyond satisfying her basic needs for food and shelter - they've taught her how to turn strangers into friends, build communities, and discover her own giving impulses. And because she had learned how to ask, she was able to go to the world to ask for the money to make a new album and tour with it, and to raise over a million dollars in a month. In The Art of Asking, Palmer expands upon her popular TED talk to reveal how ordinary people, those of us without thousands of Twitter followers and adoring fans, can use these same principles in our own lives." -- Provided by publisher.

Amanda Palmer è un'artista avvincente, nota soprattutto per il suo ruolo di frontman della band punk cabaret acclamata a livello internazionale, The Dresden Dolls. I suoi progetti solisti mettono in mostra ulteriormente una voce artistica distintiva, fondendo generi musicali con un tocco drammatico e teatrale. La produzione creativa di Palmer si estende oltre la musica, incorporando spesso arti visive e performance, riflettendo un'identità artistica sfaccettata. Le sue composizioni sono riconosciute per la loro natura profondamente personale e spesso provocatoria.
