Docteur Bowie et Mister Jones

For more than four decades, David Robert Jones, alias Bowie, has established himself as a protean rock icon: an enigmatic, androgynous, pretentious, superhuman, magnificent creature... Christian Fevret, founder and former editor-in-chief of Les Inrockuptibles, conducted this rare interview, enriched with often unpublished archives, with the glam icon at the dawn of the millennium. It is a portrait that focuses on the 1970s, when the man with the mismatched eyes flirted more with the fringe and the avant-garde than with the global hits of the 1980s, such as Let's Dance.
