Synopsis

Collating classic music press and glossy magazine articles, Morrissey in Conversation describes the rocker's crazy-quilt career in his own words. It's all here -- how the Smiths created 1980s indie rock; the anti-rock credentials, feminist sympathies, and militant vegetarianism; Morrissey's obsession with pop culture and girl groups, his (a)sexuality, and his sardonic salvos against the mediocre. This is the story of how one man bewitched the '80s, peaked in the '90s, and triumphed in the new millennium.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Morrissey: In Conversation arrives to remind us of his past 25 years in the hands of the press, compiling 27 magazine interviews from The Smiths first footings in 1983 up to recent encounters in his newly adopted hometown in Rome in 2006. It s proof, lest we forget, that in terms of great copy Morrissey has rarely been anything other than interview gold. --Q Magazine

A man whom Will Self describes in this hugely enjoyable collection as always turning phrases like rotating signs outside petrol stations... This anthology travels through the whole of his career, beginning with a Star Hits Q&A ( I can get incredibly erotic about blotting paper ) and ending with a typically verbose encounter with Paul Morley in 2006 ( it s too late to change now )... never anything less than moreish... this book reminds us why he s still someone to savour. --The Word

Présentation de l'éditeur

Morrissey is as renowned for his elegantly waspish interviews as for his celebrated song lyrics. His wit and vitriol are now collected in a long overdue anthology, comprised of the famous statements of Britain s least likely rock n roll star. In his own words: the mould-breaking days of the Smiths, the early solo triumphs, the hurtful ostracism by the music press that once lionised him and the recent return after years in the commercial wilderness. As much an archivist of British cultural life as a pop star, this collection preserves for posterity his lifelong obsessions: from 1960s girl singers to the war against animal cruelty.
