Craig Bartholomew Strydom Bücher

Der Oscar-prämierte Dokumentarfilm »Searching for Sugar Man« begeisterte Millionen Zuschauer weltweit und rührte Tausende zu Tränen. Die einzigartige Geschichte um die Suche nach dem Folksänger wird in diesem Buch erstmals ausführlich und mit vielen neuen Details von den Protagonisten des Films dargelegt. Der »Dylan aus Detroit« hatte Anfang der Sechziger zwei Studioalben voller poetischer Songs aufgenommen, die von der Kritik hoch gelobt wurden, aber kommerziell floppten. Also hängte der Musiker seine Karriere an den Nagel. Wovon er nichts ahnte: Im Südafrika der Apartheid wurden seine Lieder zu Hymnen der Protestbewegung, der Sänger wurde dort in den Siebzigern zum Star. Die Autoren Craig Strydom und Stephen Segerman machten sich auf die Suche nach Sugar Man – von dem alle dachten, er sei tot. Sie fanden ihn als einfachen Stahlarbeiter in seiner amerikanischen Heimatstadt wieder – und verhalfen ihm damit zu einer späten Karriere als Folk-Superstar.
