Most of the many books about David Bowie track his artistic 'changes' chronologically throughout his career. This book, uniquely, examines Bowie's 'sameness': his recurring themes, images, motifs and concepts as an artist, across all his creative work, from lyrics and music through to costumes, storyboards, films, plays and painting.To be published on Bowie's 70th birthday, Forever Stardust looks at Bowie's work not as a linear evolution through calendar time, to his tragic death in January 2016, but as a matrix, a dialogue, a network of ideas that echo back and forth across the five decades of his career, interacting with each other and with the surrounding culture. It explores Bowie's creative output as a whole, tracing the repetitions and obsessions that structure his work, discovering what they tell us about Bowie in all his forms, from Ziggy Stardust to David Jones.David Bowie challenged cultural expectations from the early 1970s until his final masterpiece, Blackstar. Forever Stardust offers a new understanding of this remarkable & significant artist.
Industry Reviews
'Forever Stardust combines over four decades of criticism and biography into a lucid, compelling study. It is an intelligent and nuanced look at an artist whose total achievement is only now beginning to be discovered.' - Chris O'Leary, author, Pushing Ahead of the Dame and Rebel Rebel, 'This book truly has it all about David Bowie, the man who mesmerized me at my final callback for his new musical, Lazarus. Will Brooker reminds me of David in his earlier years...this is intriguing and exciting research.' - Sophia Anne Caruso, lead actor in David Bowie and Enda Walsh's Lazarus
