David Bowie‘nin yani Thin White Duke‘un o eşsiz beynini ilham almak için hangi kitaplarla beslediğini mi merak ediyorsunuz?
Neyse ki cevap, bir kaç yıl önce Ontario Sanat Galerisinde (AGO) gerçekleşen David Bowie Is sergisinin küratörleri Geoffrey Marsh ve Victoria Broackes tarafından bir top 100 listesi yayınlanarak verildi. Vladimir Nabokov’un Lolita‘sı ya da George Orwell’ın 1984‘ü gibi klasiklerden; Michael Chabon‘ın Wonder Boys‘u gibi modern hitlere; geniş bir yelpazeye yayılan liste tam da Bowie’den beklediğimiz kıvamda.
Şu sıralar özellikle ilham arayışındaysanız; Bowie’den daha iyi bir “kitap önerisi dikkate alınacak bir dost” tanımıyorum.
Not: Kitapların orijinal adlarının bulunduğu listeyi koyuyorum. Türkçe’ye çevrilmiş olanları araştırırken daha çok şey keşfedeceğinizi düşünüyorum. Sevgiler, iyi okumalar!
