Beschreibung

Originally published in 1996, the year that Bowie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Christopher Sandford’s study of the legendary musician and icon has been highly praised.

Written with great perception of the artist’s elusive persona, and based on extensive research and interviews with friends, lovers, colleagues, and the previously silent William Boroughs, David Bowie emerges from these pages – which turn compulsively – as a complex, immensely talented and yet human figure.

Praise for Bowie: Loving the Alien:

'To decipher some tangible kind of reality behind a monumentally enigmatic figure such as Bowie is surely a daunting task for any biographer.… Sandford ultimately digs deeper than others and includes some authoritative musical analysis' - Vox

'Well written and thoroughly researched' - Q Magazine

'The best Bowie biography so far. Sandford writes perceptively about Bowie’s recorded career and about the artist’s relationship with his eccentric family. [The author] paints a more complete picture than we have had before' - Sunday Times

'Illuminating, thoughtful, and provocative' - Financial Times

'Perceptively written, this excellent life is refreshingly short on fanzine eulogy and tabloid censure' - Daily Telegraph

'An exhaustive biography.… Sandford shows how, despite early mistakes, Bowie’s grip on his career has always been extremely sure' - Times Literary Supplement
