David Bowie est bien plus qu’un chanteur qui a vendu 136 millions de disques, bien plus qu’un artiste qui a expérimenté une multitude de styles et a défini les contours de la culture pop. Avec son alter ego venu de l’espace, Ziggy Stardust, et des chansons comme « Starman » ou « Space Oddity », il a défié les règles de la musique et s’est transformé en l’icône de sa génération et le modèle des générations futures. Sa grande carrière d’artiste est intimement liée à sa biographie personnelle. Ce livre nous plonge dans tous les aspects de sa vie, notamment les plus profondes énigmes de la star. On y redécouvre sa constante obsession de la réussite, son addiction à la cocaïne, ses histoires tumultueuses avec les femmes et sa relation très fusionnelle avec son demi-frère schizophrène. Comme un hiéroglyphe, Bowie est un mystère que nous aimerions tous élucider. Maria Hesse et Fran Ruiz ont réussi à brosser un authentique portrait introspectif et poétique rédigé à la première personne.

"Provides a window into a moment when both phantasmatic and real relationships between straightness and queerness, between blackness and whiteness, and between utopia and dystopia, were in flux; Bowie in the mid-1970s both exemplified and had a hand in creating the complex and contradictory opening of possibilities now seen as the hallmark of that decade"--

This interdisciplinary anthology explores the complex relationships in an artist's life between fact and fiction, presentation and existence, and critique and creation, and examines the work that ultimately results from these tensions. Using a combination of critical and personal essays and interviews, *MASKS* presents Bowie as the key exemplifier of the concept of the 'mask', then further applies the same framework to other liminal artists and thinkers who challenged the established boundaries of the art/pop academic worlds, such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Oscar Wilde, Søren Kierkegaard, Yukio Mishima and Hunter S. Thompson. Featuring contributions from John Gray and Slavoj Žižek and interviews with Gary Lachman and Davide De Angelis, this book will appeal to scholars and students of cultural criticism, aesthetics and the philosophy of art; practising artists; and fans of Bowie and other artists whose work enacts experiments in identity.
