The Bowie Letters
Intriguing and thoroughly entertaining, this is a unique novelization of an obsessive fan told through letters he wrote over 29 years to his idol, David Bowie.
Likened to Nick Hornby's Feverpitch and High Fidelity, it charts Bowie's career while brilliantly portraying the onset of obsession: from a 12 year old's naive, unquestioning enthusiasm, to adolescent curiosity about the nature of Bowie's 'lifestyle' and ultimately bitter rejection of a jaded artist.
Against an ever evolving backdrop — from glam rock to punk, to new romantics, to contemporary theatre and film, to assorted lifeless records and projects — To Major Tom will appeal to all ages on many levels
