Über den Autor
David Bowman is the biographer Talking Heads deserves. The Salon.com Reader's Guide to Contemporary Authors says, There's no writer quite like Bowman...He writes brazenly, without shame--the way a toddler runs in circles through the sprinkler, gleefully naked and free. He was shortlisted as one of Granta's Best Novelists Under 40 and is the author of the novels Let the Dog Drive and Bunny Modern. As a journalist, Bowman has interviewed musicians as diverse as Lou Reed for the New York Times Magazine and Kris Kristofferson for Salon. Bowman lives in Manhattan. He has a wife. They have a dog.
