"Do you write to gain or lose your identity?"
"Possibly to understand it. I don’t think either to lose or gain."
David Bowie: The Last Interview and Other Conversations is a collection of interviews from throughout his life, beginning with the first one he gave in 1964 at age 16, to the last one he gave in 2006.
While this book didn't leave me with any overwhelming feelings, I found it very entertaining and fun. To see his views of himself and the world around him change throughout the interviews is really interesting. No doubt some of his earlier interviews are all-together kooky, but you can see as he ages how much more insightful he became. Its a good summation of the character we know to be David Bowie.
I did especially enjoy the interview with his wife, Iman, as well as the one with Alexander McQueen.
