{"product_id":"bowie-on-bowie-book-sean-egan-9780285643130","title":"Bowie on Bowie","description":"With over 30 of the most revealing   interviews Bowie has given in 45 years, Bowie on Bowie tells the story of   Bowie's restlessly inventive career in his own words.   Over the decades Bowie has always answered   honestly and articulately in interviews, analysing his own past and trying to   explain the motivations behind his latest persona. Bowie was the first artist   to regard the interview as a means of artistic expression in itself and this   is as close to an autobiography as he has come.  In 1973, Martin Amis wrote in the New Statesman, \"Bowie himself is unlikely to last long as a cult\". The 'cult' of David Bowie has now lasted for several decades and while Amis's piece is not included in Bowie on Bowie, there are over 30 interviews and profiles that document his changes. Widely regarded as a revolutionary influence on writers in fashion, art and film, as well as music, he discusses the full extent of his interests in these revealing interviews, drawn from NME, Melody Maker, The Face, Q, Mojo and GQ.  Sean   Egan has compiled Bowie's most revealing interviews into a riveting   commentary on 50 years of personas and styles, tracing each step from Ziggy   Stardust, Aladdin Sane to The Thin White Duke and into the elder statesman   that Bowie has become. This essential collection of 50 years of interviews   from Rock's most restlessly creative spirit is as close to an autobiography   that Bowie has come.   Bowie came to fame at a time when rock journalism came   into its own, and he came to see interviews as another opportunity for   artistic expression. Some of rock's greatest writers are included in this   collection, Robert Hilburn and Charles Shaar Murray to Allan Jones and Steven   Wells alongside an interview with Alexander McQueen, the fashion designer,   all of which reveal the extent of Bowie's interests over the decades with a   rare articulacy and thoughtfulness.   Few musicians have had the wide-ranging   influence Bowie has cast over writers, fashion, art and film as well as   music, and here is the ultimate introduction to Rock's most distinctive   voice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49528117002513,"sku":"GOR007556845","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52715859640593,"sku":"GOR009246263","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0285643134.jpg?v=1750812450","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/bowie-on-bowie-book-sean-egan-9780285643130","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
