Coles Always Crashing the Same Car: A Novel after David Bowie at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A prismatic, imaginative exploration of David Bowie?s last days An intricate collage-novel fusing and confusing fact and imagination, Always Crashing in the Same Car is a prismatic exploration of David Bowie through multiple voices and perspectives?the protean musician himself, an academic trying to compose a critical monograph about him, friends, lovers, musicologists, and others in Bowie?s orbit. At its core beat questions about how we read others, how we are read by them, how (if at all) we can tell the past with something even close to accuracy, what it feels like being the opposite of young and still committed to bracing, volatile innovation. Set during Bowie?s last months?those during which he worked on his acclaimed final album Black Star while battling liver cancer and the consequences of a sixth heart attack?yet washing back and forth across his exhilarating, kaleidoscopically costumed life, Always Crashing in the Same Car enacts a poetics of impermanence, of art, of love, of truth, even of death, that apparently most permanent of conditions.
