"Why Bowie Matters" is a unique and deeply researched exploration into the influences, places, and experiences that shaped David Jones into the iconic David Bowie. Professor Will Brooker, both a fan and an academic, passionately answers the question of why Bowie matters by delving into Bowie's life, from his suburban upbringing in Bromley to the symbolic depths of his final work, Blackstar. Brooker's immersive year-long research project, retracing Bowie's steps in London, Berlin, and New York, provides a compelling narrative that goes beyond traditional biographies. This illuminating book captures the essence of Bowie's impact on culture and suggests how we can all be a bit more Bowie.
