What the critics say
“Morrissey is a pop star of unusual writing talent.”–The New York Times
“As I floated, unmoored, Morrissey would drop in a single masterfully executed sentence. He’s a writer with a gift that he bends to bizarre use.”–Sasha Frere-Jones, The New Yorker
“[Morrissey] is at his very best as he conveys what it was, and is, to be a youth lifted free by the sense of possibilities glimpsed in pop music and films and TV and poetry. He also writes as though he has a clear sense that Autobiography could provide the same kind of beacon, the same kind of life raft, for its most impressionable readers as he found in others. And that’s exactly how he should write, for one of the main reasons Morrissey matters as he does is because he has always been that kind of artist.”–GQ
“Rancorous, rhapsodic, schizophrenic: Autobiography delivers a man in full” –Andrew Male, Mojo
“A wonderfully entertaining read.”–Daily Mirror
“Morrissey's Autobiography is brilliant and relentless. Genius, really.”–Douglas Coupland
“This is the best book ever. Like ever.”–Wonderland
“The Best Music Biog Ever ... In the world of rock autobiographies, Morrissey's is nigh-on perfect.”–NME
Having followed Morrissey in real time since the late 80s, this book definitely puts an interesting perspective to a lot of what went on all this time, especially when supplemented by Johnny's own bio.
I caught myself laughing at things I almost shouldn't have... but even hearing them a 2nd or 3rd time, you just can't help but laugh. Same with his music...
One thing that surprised me was how much he cared/cares about chart positions... I've never paid any attention to charts, and it surprises me that someone as independent and unconventional as him gives so much attention to such empty numbers.
Anyways, given how misinterpreted and misquoted he often is; this is a must. But if there's anything we've come to know from his music... don't expect happy endings.
Amazing and unique writing. Very funny.
