Items related to Saint Morrissey
There is no other contemporary artist who is so famously difficult, so apparently enigmatic, and so passionately, religiously loved by his fans as Morrissey.
However, as Mark Simpson argues in his wickedly funny and deeply sacrilegious portrait, Morrissey isn’t quite so enigmatic as he might at first appear. To understand this most private and sexually ambivalent of stars and his seemingly erratic behavior, one needs only to do one thing: Listen to him.
At once devil’s advocate and -counsel for canonization, Mark Simpson offers the finest psychological profile to date of England’s most intelligent, most misunderstood, most charming and most alarming pop star.

Review:
"Saint Morrissey is a cracking read, almost an instructional handbook on how to develop, deal with, and finally escape an obsession." --The Boston Phoenix
"Simpson is funny, clever, honest, irreverent and egotistical: quite the match for Morrissey. More biographies should be written this way." --Independent on Sunday - Books of the Year
"The most incisive biography of Morrissey yet published" --James Maker - 'The Fifth Smith'
"Like his subject, incurable super-fan Simpson is constantly amusing and provocative.... A book Morrissey will claim to hate, but secretly love." --Mojo
