| Notes | Perfect Day can perhaps best be described as a literary version of a Greatest Hits or Best Of album, including a surprising bonus track! Joost Zwagerman made a choice from the hundreds of pop pieces that appeared passionately about pop music in twenty years. The result is a colorful collection of articles, essays, portraits, columns and interviews. And everything is allowed to participate at Zwagerman: old and new, cult and camp, rock 'n roll and R&B, international leaders and Dutch pop phenomena. Here, for example, Zwagerman sketches David Bowie's career in brief: from flag-swagger to arty guitar rock to delightful public favorites. And: what does Madonna's career say about our changed image and media culture? All in all, Perfect Day is moving between Beyoncé and Joy Division; between Outkast and De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig and the Sex Pistols and Velvet Underground. So much variation in one pop book emphasizes the limitless fascinations of an incurable pop lover |
