Overview

Book by book, year by year, the ultimate literary trip through Bowie's greatest decade. Darkness looms in 1974. It could be the winter energy crisis. It could be The Exorcist. Or it could be the shock that Britain's biggest pop star, David Bowie, is about to leave its shores for good. Bidding the corpse of glam, Ziggy's haircut and loyal 'Bowietania' farewell, the plan is to storm America with his highly theatrical Diamond Dogs tour. But by opening night he's already wishing he was Barry White instead. Then there's that nasty sniff he can't get rid of. And that fly in his milk. And the suspicion that, much like every other teen idol named David, fame is driving him completely out of his mind ... Simon Goddard's electric ride through Bowie's greatest decade reaches the halfway mark with this fifth instalment. Wickedly funny and shockingly tragic, Bowie Odyssey 74 is the story of one man trying to find his soul in a world that's gone to the devil.

‘A full-on sensory immersion in Bowie’s universe.’ Sunday Times ‘Fantastic year-by-year epic . . . So devotional and healthily delirious you can smell the greasepaint and the hormones.’ Record Collector 'My god, it’s brilliant. A delicious romp.' Mike Scott (Waterboys) 'Funny, poignant, intriguing, full of mischief, a brilliant piece of work. It might be my favourite Bowie book ever.' Marc Riley, BBC 6 Music


‘A full-on sensory immersion in Bowie’s universe.’ Sunday Times
