Notă biografică
Steven
Patrick
Morrissey
was
born
in
Manchester
on
May
22nd
1959.
Singer-songwriter
and
co-founder
of
the
Smiths
(1982-1987),
Morrissey
has
been
a
solo
artist
for
twenty-six
years,
during
which
time
he
has
had
three
number
1
albums
in
England
in
three
different
decades.
Recenzii
Five
stars.
With
typical
pretension,
Morrissey's
first
book
has
been
published
as
a
Penguin
Classic.
It
justifies
such
presentation
with
a
beautifully
measured
prose
style
that
combines
a
lilting,
poetic
turn
of
phrase
and
acute
quality
of
observation,
revelling
in
a
kind
of
morbid
glee
at
life's
injustice
with
arch,
understated
humour
...
It
is
recognisably
the
voice
of
the
most
distinctive
British
pop
lyricist
of
his
era
A brilliant and timely book ... What is so refreshing about Morrissey'sAutobiographyis its very messiness, its deliriously florid, overblown prose style, its unwillingness to kowtow to a culture of literary formula and commercial pigeon-holing ...Autobiographyis a true baggy monster, a book in which a distinctive prose style is allowed to develop ... A rococo triumph ... Overwhelmingly this is a book to be thankful for ... In the ways that matter,Autobiographyreads like a work of genuine literary class
Sharply written, rich, clever, rancorous, puffed-up, tender, catty, windy, poetic, and frequently very, very funny. Welcome back, Morrissey
Rancorous, rhapsodic, schizophrenic:Autobiographydelivers a man in full
If one is willing to accept that a Morrissey book could be a classic, then the book justifies its status remarkably early on. ... As a work of proseAutobiographyis a triumph of the written word
Funnier than theIliad... A triumph
One of the autobiographies of this or any year ... A wonderfully entertaining read. He's as witty, acerbic and opinionated as you'd expect, but there's a welcome self-awareness throughout that makes the dramatic flourishes and hyperbolic dismay all the more hilarious. He may have more flaws than Manchester's Arndale Centre but he's just brilliantly, uniquely Morrissey
Morrissey'sAutobiographyis brilliant and relentless. Genius, really
Well, so far Morrissey's book is an absolute masterpiece; no doubt the whole stinking country will hate it.
This is the best book ever. Like ever
Carried along on quite extraordinary prose
The Best Music Biog Ever ... In the world of rock autobiographies, Morrissey's is nigh-on perfect
Practically every paragraph has a line or two that demands to be read aloud to the mirror, tattooed on foreheads, carved on tombstones
Morrissey is a pop star of unusual writing talent
Autobiographyis a rich and substantial work, the figure emerging at its centre both compelling and complex. Those who know his music will be unsurprised by the qualities of Morrissey's prose, which is ornate, windswept, elusive yet never tricksy, and full of unexpected twists and thrusts. He writes with understanding (albeit often with atout comprendre c'est rien pardonnercaveat) and is most of all straightforwardly moving; never more so than when writing about his childhood
Autobiographydoesn't disappoint. In its pages Morrissey manages to perform the neat trick of deconstructing his own myth while at the same time adding to it. Old scores are settled and anyone who ever crossed the singer is neatly decapitated herein by withering, barbed prose. Things could have gone very differently for Morrissey. He could have ended up cleaning canal banks or delivering the post for a living. Both of these outcomes would have left the world a far duller place.Autobiographyis the man in his own words and, Morrissey being Morrissey, this means that we are presented with an account that is real and fantastic, unapologetically romantic and brutally honest. The die-hard fans have read the book already but for anyone with even a passing interest in what makes one of the most individual and unflinching voices in British pop music tick,Autobiographyis essential
