I’m not sure exactly how to feel about this read. It markets itself as a blend of fact and fiction but seems to not get into much detail with the less than glowing facts and areas that are a bit more murky.
For example Wanda Nichols, a woman who accused him of rape is brought up and quickly glossed over and dismissed and an additional allegation of him sleeping with an underage fan is not discussed.
I didn’t know about these facts about Bowie prior to this read but I think it’s important for books like this to wrestle with complicated historical figures who may have had immense impact but not always in a completely positive light.
