📘 David Bowie

by Jones, Dylan

Tracing Bowie's life from the English suburbs to London to New York to Los Angeles, Berlin, and beyond, Jones describes a man profoundly shaped by his relationship with his schizophrenic half-brother Terry; an intuitive artist who could absorb influences through intense relationships and yet drop people cold when they were no longer of use; and a social creature equally comfortable partying with John Lennon and dining with Frank Sinatra. By turns insightful and deliciously gossipy, it will transform our understanding of both artist and art.

📘 David Bowie

by Marc Spitz

One of the most protean figures in rock music, David Bowie remains, even when lying low, a source of endless fascination to his considerable fanbase. What is the state of his health? Is he working on a new album? Will he tour again? And the story of his life is one of amazing and tireless self re-invention. But it is fifteen years since the last comprehensive biography, and more than time for a new one. Marc Spitz has now produced just that. Long enough to cover every aspect of Bowie's life, but equally not an oversize product of obsession, this is a readable, quirky, assiduous book that every Bowie fan will want to read.
