Books

His first novel, Let the Dog Drive, was a 1993 New York Times Notable Book.[4] It also won the Elmer Holmes Bobst Award for Emerging Writers.[5]

Bunny Modern, his second novel, was published in 1998; SPIN called it "lively, whacked-out, [and] often surprisingly moving."[6]

Bowman's only work of nonfiction, This Must Be the Place: The Adventures of the Talking Heads in the 20th Century, about Talking Heads, came out in 2001.[1]

Big Bang, Bowman's posthumous novel, received critical acclaim.[7][8][9]
