A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Brilliant. The unwritten Bowie book that
needed writing' CAITLIN MORAN 'Splendid. Provides plenty of
evidence of Bowie's restless, rummaging intelligence, and his
pleasure in the fact that books allow readers to slip into someone
else's skin and try it on for size' THE TIMES 'A witty and
enlightening analysis of Bowie's 100 essential books . . . A handy,
amusing, light-touch precis' OBSERVER 'What is your idea of perfect
happiness?' 'Reading.' 'What is the quality you most like in a
man?' 'The ability to return books.' Three years before he died,
David Bowie made a list of the one hundred books that had
transformed his life - a list that formed something akin to an
autobiography. From Madame Bovary to A Clockwork Orange, the Iliad
to the Beano, these were the publications that had fuelled his
creativity and shaped who he was. In Bowie's Books, John O'Connell
explores this list in the form of one hundred short essays, each
offering a perspective on the man, performer and creator that is
Bowie, his work as an artist and the era that he lived in.
Brilliantly illustrated throughout and the perfect gift for Bowie
fans and book lovers, Bowie's Books is much more than a list of
books you should read in your lifetime: it is a unique insight into
one of the greatest minds of our times, and an indispensable part
of the legacy that Bowie left behind.
