Overview

In this vivid and finely tuned essay, Christian Soleil retraces David Bowie's incandescent Berlin years-those suspended months when a fractured artist sought refuge in a fractured city. Within the echoing walls of Hansa Studios, amid concrete smells and whispers drifting from the East, Bowie reinvented himself and reshaped the future of music. Low, ""Heroes"", Lodger: three albums, three stages of a bold metamorphosis. Soleil's writing captures the grey-silver days, the neon-streaked nights, the essential friendships, doubts, and bursts of genius. Berlin emerges as a character in its own right: a laboratory-city where everything wavers, breaks, and begins again. This book is a passage-a journey through the self, through sound, through reinvention. A chance to return to the Berlin Trilogy, where Bowie proved that an artist can shed his skin, find a new one, and in doing so, shift the world on its axis.
