Morrissey in Conversation: The Essential Interviews
“Morrissey: In Conversationarrives 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
