Featuring fresh insights and exclusive interviews with close collaborators, Adam Steiner’s Silhouettes and Shadows uncovers the studio stories, meanings behind, and secret history of Scary Monsters. Steiner gives a nuanced, memorable portrait of Bowie at a personal and professional crossroads, drawing on his own struggle with addiction, growing paranoia, and political turmoil. Despite the album’s confrontational themes, it included the hit singles “Fashion” and “Ashes to Ashes,” with Bowie riding a new wave of inspiration, from the post-punk of Joy Division, The Specials’ two-tone revolution, and the stadium synth-pop of Gary Numan.
Most importantly, it marked a final goodbye to Major Tom, Ziggy Stardust, and The Thin White Duke, characters and personas that had defined his career: in this rare moment, David Bowie, the costumed clown of romance, suffering, and song, let his mask slip to reveal David Jones, the man within.©2023 Adam Steiner (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
批評家のレビュー
Steiner writes potently and poignantly of the artist’s late-'70s personal turmoil, and comes up with a workaholic inventor at a crossroads who deals with inner madness by spewing bile, grief, the tenets of unrequited love, and a goodbye to Major Tom across one tight avant-post-punk-electronic classic. That’s a lot to chew on, and Steiner does so nobly.
Essential reading for David Bowie fans and those interested in rock-and-roll history.
Steiner ... takes us on the thrilling, identity-splicing journey with him, and as he does so offers a compelling, vital insight into this key Bowie album with the dexterity and insight of a novelist as well of a skilled biographer.
Full of surprises and unexpected comments and critical revelations ... gloriously readable and informative.
[Steiner] details the creation of this oft-overlooked LP ... There is quite a lot to be learned within the pages of Silhouettes and Shadows.
Adam Steiner has written an in-depth discussion of David Bowie’s ‘last great album’ … It’s a convincing argument and backed up with an in-depth analysis of the social, cultural and political landscape of the time … Steiner seems to have read everything anyone’s written about Bowie’s work, and he’s also done his own interviews too.
Adam Steiner's Silhouettes and Shadows is the mind-bendingly fascinating story of an album and its maker at the peak of his career. (Arsalan Mohammad, host of the David Bowie: Albumtoalbum podcast)
An insightful, expansive, and informed searchlight into the inner workings of one of the most essential recordings of Bowie's oeuvre. Beautifully conceived and written with penetrating insight. (Chuck Hammer, guitarist)
Steiner's rich text brilliantly recreates the claustrophobic paranoia and relentless self-analysis of an album that seems more unsettling every time you hear it. (Peter Doggett, author of The Man Who Sold The World)
Scary Monsters is one of David Bowie's most fascinating records—a decade-closing album full of anger, confusion, innovation, retrenchment, theft, and sheer brilliance that's unique in his catalog. Adam Steiner digs into every aspect of it, from its songs to its art to its videos. He skillfully traces its many tributaries and listens to how it echoes throughout Bowie's later works. Anyone who's been entranced by Scary Monsters over the years will find much of interest here. (Chris O’Leary, author of Ashes To Ashes and Rebel Rebel)
