Book by book, year by year, the ultimate literary trip through Bowie's greatest decade. 1976, and in England the heat is rising. Immigration protests, racist murders, the rise of the National Front and the return of David Bowie, now the Thin White Duke, crowing to the papers how Britain "could benefit from a fascist leader". But with his incorrigible best buddy Iggy Pop in tow, as he gravitates towards the divided city of Berlin, his wake-up call is coming - and with it a brave new musical direction that will cement Bowie's place as the most innovative artist of the decade. The seventh volume of Simon Goddard's critically acclaimed Bowie Odyssey series is a stark and brutal black-and-white tale of art, anger, discord and salvation.
Simon Goddard has been writing about music for nearly 30 years, both as a journalist and as the author of over a dozen books published across three continents. His Bowie Odyssey series has twice made the Sunday Times Books Of The Year (2020, 2024) while his other titles have made best-of-year lists in Mojo, Q, Uncut and Pitchfork's Top 60 Music Books Of All-Time. Simon is based in North London.
Published in a strictly limited collector's hardback edition with a unique cover. Previous hardbacks in the series have since sold out and are now highly prized by collectors.
"They are probably my favourite Bowie books of all and the only ones that make me regularly laugh out loud." Marc Riley
