David Bowie: The Last Interview and Other Conversations.


David Bowie: The Last Interview and Other Conversations is a collection of interviews and articles that covers a multitude of topics and spans forty two years.
There are an interesting selection of conversations and articles here and a broad range of subjects are covered including music, film, fashion, as well as the expected personal recollections and tales. My favourite parts of the book were the transcripts of conversations between Bowie and other artists. (I especially liked the conversation with Alexander McQueen.)

This book is part of a series of The Last Interview books rather than a stand alone volume. The last interview in this one is from the promotion for a comedy TV show in 2006 rather than an 'actual' last interview and I have to admit that I found that to be something of a let down. 

I was (and still am) a big Bowie fan so I found the book to be of interest and loved reading his words but it is a very quick read and far from comprehensive. Overall, not quite what I was expecting...
