I read Hugo Wilcken's "Low" and Joe Pernice's fellow 33&1/3 volume for "Meat is Murder" in the same day and the difference between the two books is staggering. Wilcken crafts the definitive volume in the series, full of meaty anecdotes, interesting cultural references, and more thought-provoking revelations into the album, artist and cultural milieu than you can shake a proverbial stick at.
Pernice gives us some dodgy sixth-form fiction vignette about teen suicide. Zzzz. Regrettable that that book is even allowed to stand in the same general company as Wilcken's masterful read.Get more detail about David Bowie's Low (33 1/3).
