  1. 1. On Bowie

    A lively personal and critical portrait that traces the artist’s chameleonic career and the cultural moments his music both shaped and reflected, blending memoir, close readings of key songs and albums, and reflections on reinvention, gender, fame, and mortality; written in a conversational, fan-wise voice, it shows how his shape-shifting identity and fearless experimentation provided emotional refuge and artistic permission for generations of listeners, culminating in an elegiac consideration of his legacy after his death.
