Book by book, year by year, the ultimate literary trip through Bowie’s greatest decade.

1975 ought to be David Bowie’s golden year, marked by his first starring role in a major feature film (The Man Who Fell to Earth), and chart-topping single success on both sides of the Atlantic. Yet behind the soul boy glamour of Young Americans, Bowie is lost in Los Angeles, descending into a bottomless hell of cocaine, witchcraft and the troubling fantasies of his dark new alter-ego, the Thin White Duke.

In Bowie Odyssey 75, Simon Goddard crafts a vivid, novelistic chronicle of the starman’s notorious annus druggiest.

Like its predecessors, Goddard presents deep research as a dramatic “David Peace-like fictionalistion” (Sunday Times), its intricate multi-threaded plot weaving Bowie’s chaotic road to Station To Station with a Nazi-obsessed serial killer, the unstoppable rise of Margaret Thatcher, the terror of the Cambridge Rapist and a new generation ready to light the fuse of punk rock from Patti Smith to the Sex Pistols. All conspire in a grand narrative capturing the essence of a transitional year – for Bowie, for music, for the 1970s

“Six instalments in, this series grows more beguiling and compelling with every book. Strongly recommended” JOHN NIVEN.
