520    "In the final year of his life David Bowie achieved his 
       long-time ambition to write and stage a musical. At the 
       same time, he produced his final record, the multi-Grammy 
       award winning Blackstar. In Lazarus, Bowie's protagonist 
       is an alien outsider, stuck on earth and unable to die; he
       must find within himself the reason, and heroism, to 
       finally be free. 2013's The Next Day, tells stories from 
       the perspectives of a diverse cast of obscure literary 
       characters who are experiencing death in some way. In 
       contrast, Blackstar elegantly invites us to consider what 
       happens when a star dies. In our universe dying stars do 
       not disappear, they transform into new stellar objects, 
       remnants and gravitational forces. When a pop star dies 
       their body of work may live on; with enough critical mass,
       a remnant legacy may transform an individual into 
       something bigger than what they were: supermassive, god-
       sized. This book analyzes the words, images, music and 
       sounds of Bowie's final works, critically appraising it as
       death art that leverages its power from the artist's 
       demise. With Lazarus and Blackstar Bowie assembles an 
       existentialist framework for immortality that echoes David
       Bowman's journey through the Star Gate in 2001: A Space 
       Odyssey (1968). In Bowie's version, the transformation 
       comes through death's gateway; ascension to a new state of
       universal being"--|cProvided by publisher
