Leigh Bowery

'A touching tribute of friendship, written with wit, verve and considerable charm' - Lynn Barber, Daily Telegraph 'A charming and raffish book, a fitting tribute to someone who lived fast, and died young and stayed pretty' - Chris Savage, Independent 'Like any good biographer, Sue Tilley resurrects all the tales we already know but are desperate to hear once more - Leigh's outrageous club Taboo, his outrageous creations, his outrageous behaviour, his outrageous performance art' - Richard Smith, Gay Times 'Sue Tilley's description of Bowery's cattiness, dysfunctional relationships and multitude of spiralling egos avoids making moral judgments, conveying instead the doomed romanticism of an era running on borrowed time. Her account is compulsive and heartfelt. All elegies should resonated like this' - Susan Corrigan, Esquire 'An unusually down-to-earth account of Bowery's larger-than-life, extravagant personality ... the story is a gripping one' - Roger Clark, Attitude
