David Bowie: The Last Interview

David Bowie: The Last Interview: And Other Conversations



Series of interviews which show an excellent insight into Bowie's work the one with William Burroughs being the most interesting. Bowie is prescient of the age of internet downloads (although not articulated as such) and his self confessing contradictions are also evident between early and later interviews. A good read.

The Holy Sinner (Thomas Mann)

Thomas Mann
The Holy Sinner


Fascinating story about sin both premeditated and unknowingly committed. All fairly believable, just about, but stretched a bit towards the end. Descriptions are marvellous.
