This is (not about) David Bowie by FJ Morris
Freya Morris
First published in 2018 by Retreat West Books.
Narrated by the author and John Teal.
A surreal and quirky debut short-story collection inspired by David Bowie, which shows what it really is to be human in a world that’s always expecting you to be something else.
Every day we dress up in other people’s expectations. We button on opinions of who we should be, we instagram impossible ideals, tweet to follow, and comment to judge. But what if we could just let it all go? What if we took off our capes and halos, threw away our uniforms, let go of the future. What if we became who we were always supposed to be? This is (not about) David Bowie. It’s about you.
From lost souls, to missing sisters, and dying lovers to superheroes, it shows what it really is to be human in a world that’s always expecting you to be something else.
This collection has been inspired by the music and art of David Bowie.
