Rough Trade Podcast 85 with John O'Connell

"I can see it brewing in his head...I like that about it. I like the idea of it being his personal overview...this is what I am, this is what made me, these are the tools I used to construct myself." John O'Connell

Emily chats to author John O'Connell on Bowie's Books, his new work documenting the 100 literary heroes that changed and shaped the life of one of music's most iconic stars. Rob's back with Roundup and George checks in from NYC.
