Sunday, March 13, 2005--London Bookfair (the following is taken from an email review of last weekend's London Bookfair): Another international legend was also still looking for an American home as of this writing. In a fittingly melodramatic auction last month, Smiths frontman and cult hero Morrissey sold his memoir for a reported two million pounds to Penguin U.K. (after reportedly rejecting a deal with Faber because the seven-figure price was too low). At the fair, the recently assembled Inkwell Management was handling foreign sales, with no deal immediately in place. Morrissey is of course the mopey recluse who rarely talks to the media. In the post-Chronicles age (speaking of media shyness), he's expected to fetch a solid price even in the U.S.

It’s probably safe to say also that it’s not just because he’s a pop-star whose music has meant so much more over the years and affected many people deeply and lastingly in comparison to other charting musicians, that this book will be widely welcomed. Morrissey is a powerful character in other ways too, someone whose authentic integrity, good humour and stable values have become more clearly inspiring; who has penetrating head-turning views on what’s going on in the world, and who’s earned ultimate admiration for his formidable cultural influence on society, both in the Smiths and as a solo artist.
More and more ‘we look to (Moz) for the language we use’ – the point is being taken at last. This autobiography is set to be a pleasure and a treasure.
