Bowie Odyssey: The Ultimate Literary Trip Through Bowie's Greatest Decade
It is 1973, and David Bowie is finally a superstar. All he has to do to remain there is to keep pretending he is Ziggy Stardust, keep playing to thousands, keep selling to millions, and keep on staying relatively sane. However, his planned retirement is anything but quiet. Now a friend of the Jaggers, with more lovers than he can count on one hand, more appetites than he can satisfy with one nose, and still more success, Bowie is living the high life. But at what cost?
Continuing his vivid real-time journey through the decade, David Bowie changed pop forever. The fourth volume of the Bowie Odyssey series, written by Simon Goddard, takes us deep into the dark heart of Seventies sex, drugs, and debauched rock 'n' roll. This gripping, unsentimental portrait of inspiration, insanity, and the thin line that divides is a must-read for any Bowie fan.
