Cameron on Cameron: Conversations with Dylan Jones

Just who does David Cameron think he is? In an engaging series of landmark interviews—that will define the would-be prime minister ahead of the next election—Dylan Jones finds out. David Cameron is asking the British people for the keys to Number Ten—but is he a smartly-dressed smoothie with all the right lines, or a gifted politician who instinctively understands the country's priorities? A throwback to the age when privilege brought power, or a dynamic alternative to a Labor party that has run out of ideas? This series of wide-ranging and candid interviews will define David Cameron ahead of the next election—and for years to come. A book about a politician for people who don't buy books about politicians, this book will for many settle the question of whether David Cameron has got what it takes to lead the country.

One Day: Saturday 13 July 1985, nearly two billion people woke up with one purpose. Nearly a third of humanity knew where they were going to be that day. Watching, listening to, attending: Live Aid. One Decade: Britain in the Eighties was different. The culture was different, the politics were different, and our engagement with the world was different. And it was just one day in 1985 that showed how different it was. In One Day, One Decade Dylan Jones tells the story of the Eighties through that day at Wembley, sweeping backwards to the end of the Seventies, and forward to the start of the Nineties. It draws on his personal reminiscences and perspective of music, media, fashion, politics and all forms of pop culture to frame the decade. This is a big book but not a exhaustive and dry social history. Live Aid was the decade’s pinch point, when a nation's attitudes and expectations were somehow captured and changed forever. The author suggests that before Live Aid, Britain was one place, and after Live Aid it was another. Britain in the Eighties was a juxtaposition of militancy and profligacy, a country where industry was being broken down, societies were being demolished, and unemployment became an inevitable lifestyle choice: yet the Eighties was also the apotheosis of pop culture, a decade where entertainment, opinion and subjectivity were more important than ever before. Dylan Jones was at the heart of the 1980s editing the seminal magazines i-D and The Face. He was one of the Blitz Kids and was both a commentator and one of the style-makers of the time. This is a controversial book, a story told from the inside by one who was at the centre of events.

Locked in Dr. Thomas Meredith's mind are terrible visions - visions of the night when a hooded serial killer tortured and murdered his girlfriend before his eyes but chose to spare him. Meredith wants nothing more than to erase that night from his mind - but it has changed him. He has completely withdrawn from the life he had before: his successful career as a doctor, his friends and family. Now Meredith works the night shift at a local diner and passes the days alone in his secluded cabin. He lives in a constant fear of the dark because it could hide his attacker, returning to finish the deed. Each dawn is a triumph, for he has survived the night, and a tragedy, as he lives only to face the darkness once again. But if Meredith's own mind won't let him alone, neither will the police. For the killer - dubbed "the Carpenter" by the baffled London police and a frenzied press - is still at large, and Meredith's horrifying memories may hold some clues as to his identity. He is their only hope.

David Bowie: A Life

Dylan Jones's engrossing, magisterial biography of David Bowie is unlike any Bowie story ever written. Drawn from over 180 interviews with friends, rivals, lovers and collaborators, some of whom have never before spoken about their relationship with Bowie, this oral history weaves a hypnotic spell as it unfolds the story of a remarkable rise to stardom and an unparalleled artistic path. Tracing Bowie's life from the English suburbs to London to New York to Los Angeles, Berlin and beyond, its collective voices describe a man profoundly shaped by his relationship with his schizophrenic half-brother Terry; an intuitive artist who could absorb influences through intense relationships and yet drop people cold when they were no longer of use; and a social creature equally comfortable partying with John Lennon and dining with Frank Sinatra. By turns insightful and deliciously gossipy, David Bowie is as intimate a portrait as may ever be drawn. It sparks with admiration and grievances, lust and envy, as the speakers bring you into studios and bedrooms they shared with Bowie, and onto stages and film sets, opening corners of his mind and experience that transform our understanding of both artist and art. Including illuminating, never-before-seen material from Bowie himself, drawn from a series of Jones's interviews with him across two decades, David Bowie is an epic, unforgettable cocktail-party conversation about a man whose enigmatic shapeshifting and irrepressible creativity produced one of the most sprawling, fascinating lives of our time.
