Dylan Jones's biography of David Bowie is unlike any other Bowie's story. Made from over 180 interviews with friends, rivals, lovers, and collaborators, this oral history tells the magic rise to stardom and a unique artistic path. Tracing Bowie's life from the English suburbs to London to New York to Los Angeles, Berlin, and beyond, its collective voices describe 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.
