The Man Who Sold the World: David Bowie and the 1970s Peter Doggett

No artist offered a more incisive and accurate portrait of the troubled landscape of the 1970s than David Bowie. Cultural historian Peter Doggett explores the rich heritage of Bowie"s most productive and inspired decade, and traces the way in which his music reflected and influenced the world around him. From "Space Oddity", his dark vision of mankind"s voyage into the unknown terrain of space, to the Scary Monsters album, Doggett examines in detail Bowie"s audacious creation of an "alien" rock star, Ziggy Stardust, and his increasingly perilous explorations of the nature of identity and the meaning of fame. Nixing brilliant musical critique with biographical insight and acute cultural analysis. The Man Who Sold The World is a unique study of a major artist and his times.
