The Man Who Sold the World: David Bowie and the 1970s – A Song-by-Song Chronicle of Glam Rock and Punk Innovation

â€œAstonishing and absorbingâ€¦from glam rock, minimalism and punk, to radical left-wing politics, music video, and a mass of other subjects that helped shape the ideas behind Bowieâ€™s songs.â€
â€”Sunday Times (London)
Â
The Man Who Sold the World by Peter Doggettâ€”author of the critically acclaimed Beatles biography, You Never Give Me Your Moneyâ€”is a song-by-song chronicle of the evolution of David Bowie. Focusing on the work and the life of one of the most groundbreaking figures in music and popular culture during the turbulent seventies, Bowieâ€™s most productive and innovative period, The Man Who Sold the World is the book that serious rock music lovers have been waiting for. By exploring Bowieâ€™s individual achievements and breakthroughs one-by-one, Doggett paints a fascinating portrait of the performer who paved the way for a host of fearless contemporary artists, from Radiohead to Lady Gaga.
