'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.
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.
