Excited to be part of a very interesting new anthology, Masks: Bowie & Artists of Artifice (Intellect Books) featuring distinguished artists and thinkers, such as:

Slovenian philosopher, Slavoj Žižek, founding member of Blondie, Gary Valentine as well as English philosopher, John Gray — now, available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1789381088/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_VyhZDbWJ1C30H

My contribution takes the form of a nearly 30 page essay on those 2 great contrarians, Oscar Wilde and Friedrich Nietzsche, exploring tensions between their lives and art.

And, you don't have to be a fan of Bowie (which I am) to enjoy this book -- it should appeal to anyone interested in cultural criticism, aesthetics, identity and the performing arts.

"There is more truth in the mask we wear, in the game we play, the fiction we obey and follow, than in what is concealed beneath the mask." — Slavoj Žižek
