Opis

"Provides a window into a moment when both phantasmatic and real relationships between straightness and queerness, between blackness and whiteness, and between utopia and dystopia, were in flux; Bowie in the mid-1970s both exemplified and had a hand in creating the complex and contradictory opening of possibilities now seen as the hallmark of that decade"--

Recenzje

[Hendler's] textual analysis of Bowie's lyrics and the influences of the album is deep, yet he doesn't skimp on musicology . This 33 1/3 is worth reading even if you know nothing about Diamond Dogs. Bomb
