Built from stories and memories shared by self-defined David Bowie fans, this

book explores how Bowie existed as a figure of renewal and redemption,

resonating in particular with those marginalized by culture and society. Sean

Redmond and Toija Cinque draw on personal interviews, memorabilia, diaries,

letters, communal gatherings and shared conversation to find out why Bowie

mattered so much to the fans that idolized him. Contextualising the identification 

streams that have emerged around David Bowie, the book highlights his remarkable influence.
