To date, this 533 page book is the most complete account of London born singer/songwriter David Bowie and his impact on pop culture ever written. With exclusive and revelatory interviews with the Thin White Duke's closest collaborators and the man himself, and an unrivaled degree of access to excessively photographic material, the Liverpudlian music journalist David Buckley presents a lot of detail with great precision. Readers can sense the extensive research that is behind this updated and revised biography. Focus on the art not the gossip, Buckley knows what—or who—he’s talking about. Very academic and thorough.

Hey Putu, have you ever read "Backstage passes", the book Angie Bowie wrote about her life with David Bowie? If you're after gossip, she really dishes the dirt. Actually own a signed copy from Angie Bowie (one of my prized possessions)!
ReplyDeleteYou own a signed copy of "Backstage Passes"? Whoa! Lucky you. I know about it but I haven't read it. I guess I should. I've just ordered Morrissey's autobiography.I've heard he's still miserable—in Moz's case, that's a good thing :)
DeleteAnyway, thanks for sharing, Raquel!
