"Beguiling...the fabulosity of Bowie's life and times lends itself extraordinarily well to the oral history form." --San Francisco Chronicle "Drawn from over 180 interviews with friends, rivals, lovers, and collaborators, some of whom have never before spoken about their relationship with Bowie, this oral history weaves a hypnotic spell as it unfolds the story of a remarkable rise to stardom and an unparalleled artistic path." --Parade "Devour David Bowie: A Life, an oral history by Dylan Jones. It's full of irresistible stories of art, music, and, of course, sex--this is rock 'n' roll, after all." --Men's Health "A labor of love with many vivid voices and fresh insights." --Jon Savage, author of England's Dreaming and Teenage "What a story--no screenwriter could have made it up. Dylan Jones tells the epic tale of how David Bowie turned the world upside down, from his early scuffling London days to his rock-and-roll golden years--a starman who kept reimagining himself and his art in ways that transformed our whole culture." --Rob Sheffield, author of Love Is a Mix Tape and On Bowie "A must-read, incredibly diverse and detailed oral history of the rock god's entire existence. From the cradle to the grave. Best. Bowie book. Ever." --Denis Leary, author of Why We Don't Suck
