Since his angst ridden adolescent years in Colditz through to life as a greying father of two, Gary has been writing to his idol, David Bowie. Through 30 years of one-way correspondence we now look back over time, in which both men have overcome life's obstacles. From Ziggy Stardust to Glass Spiders and a nervous, naive teenager to unfulfilled adult. Through it all, Gary has shared his most intimate thoughts with his hero. Bowie's songs serve as succour, offering inspiration in his moments of bitterness, confusion and anxiety, and finally, liberation.
