As an interview subject, Steven Patrick Morrissey has made barbed observations about modern culture for more than three decades. As renowned for his elegantly waspish interviews as for his celebrated song lyrics, his wit and vitriol are finally brought together in a long overdue collection of interviews. Chronologically touching all the major points of his career, Morrissey in Conversation: The Essential Interviews comprises the most famous statements of Britain’s greatest and least likely rock'n'roll star.
The resurgence of Morrissey demonstrates how transient fashion can never truly eclipse a great maverick. All is contained within these pages: the groundbreaking days of the Smiths; the early solo triumphs; the hurtful ostracism by the music press that once lionized him; his return after years in the commercial wilderness. As much an archivist of British cultural life as a pop star, this collection preserves for posterity Morrissey’s love of literary figures like Oscar Wilde, his fetish for late '50s/early '60s icons, reflections on his (a)sexuality, his militant vegetarianism, and his sardonic salvos against mediocrity in all its forms.
Includes contributions from Neil McCormick, Simon Garfield, Biba Kopf, Max Bell, Dylan Jones, Mat Snow, Steven Daly, Stuart Maconie, Andrew Harrison, Will Self, Lynn Barber, Keith Cameron, Andrew Male and Paul Morley. All bear witness to this most singular talent, the modern pop song’s chronicler of loneliness, perversity and an English working-class sensibility, now lost.

Edited by Paul A. Woods, this book features contributions from numerous modern rock journalists.
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
