The Man Who Fell to Earth

The aim of the present book is to show that Bowie was not only a great musician but also a great poet, who was inspired by great works of literature, such as "A Clockwork Orange" and "2001: A Space Odyssey". In particular, the essay analizes three very important and famous Bowie records: "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" (1972), "Aladdin Sane" (1973) and "Diamond Dogs" (1974). The single "Space Oddity" (1969) is interpreted, too.
