David Bowie talks The Crying of Lot 49, at publication, so to speak.

[Mark Kohut]

Seems at 19, that is in 1966 (!),  he told Melody Maker, "as far
as I'm concerned, the whole idea of Western life,
that's the life we live now, is wrong"...."the majority of us just don't
know what real life is"....

Great lede on a Wa Po feature about him: "Mourning David Bowie requires
tremendous energy because there are so many David Bowies to mourn."
