BILDANJE KREATIVNOSTI: 100 najdražih knjiga Davida Bowieja

Tri godine prije nego što je David Bowie preminuo, podijelio je popis od 100 knjiga koje su promijenile njegov život. U 100 kratkih eseja glazbeni novinar John O’Connell proučava svaku knjigu na Bowiejevom popisu i stavlja je u kontekst umjetnikova života i rada. Kako je Ilijada utjecala na čovjeka koji je volio kostime, mijenjanje identiteta i zavodnički ples alter-ega? U kakvoj su vezi evanđelja i njegova osobna kozmologija te kako su pjesme T.S. Eliota i Franka O’Hare i knjige Vladimira Nabokova i Anthonyja Burgessa utjecali na Bowiejeve stihove, njegov zvuk te umjetnički stil – možete saznati u knjizi “Bowie’s Bookshelf: The Hundred Books that Changed David Bowie’s Life”.
