About the Book

"Praiseworthy."—The Guardian Kate Bush: the subject of murmured legend and one of the most distinctive musicians of the modern era. Running Up That Hill: 50 Visions of Kate Bush is a multi-faceted biography of this famously elusive figure, viewing her life and work from fresh and illuminating angles. Featuring details from the author’s one-on-one conversations with Kate as well as vignettes of her key songs, albums, videos, and concerts, this artful, candid, and often brutally funny portrait introduces a refreshingly real Kate Bush. Tom Doyle also intertwines vivid reconstructions of transformative moments in her career and insights from the friends and collaborators closest to her, including her photographer brother John Carder Bush and fellow artists David Gilmour, John Lydon, and Youth. With Netflix’s Stranger Things inspiring a new generation of fans, Kate Bush has made an incredible resurgence in popularity and has broken new records. Running Up That Hill is a vibrant and comprehensive re-examination of the artist and her many creative landmarks.

Review :
Long-term Kate Bush devotees and new teenage fans won over by Stranger Things will both find enlightenment in Tom Doyle’s prismastic portrait of the elusive artist. Praiseworthy. Approaching its subject from inspired angles...probably the best [Kate] Bush book to date. The best book ever written about Bush. Running Up That Hill offers a range of new ways to appreciate the single-minded inspiration that it springs from. Funny and illuminating. A refreshing take on one of our most complex, gifted artists. A very beautiful book. Until the artist puts her own pen to paper […] this is the closest we’ve ever come to understanding the enigmatic, uncompromising Bush on page.
