On Bowie by Simon Critchley
An appreciation of David Bowie - artist, lyricist, performer, icon - including final chapters on Bowie's last album Blackstar.
A magnificent and deceptively slim book, in which no essay takes longer to read than it would take to listen to a Bowie song, but in which there is a cumulative sense of revelation as regards what made Bowie special, and why it is that his work seems to yield more, the more time you spend thereThe book is delightful, highly readable ... funny, moving and passionate -- Rick Moody * Salon *
