In the October issue of Spin Magazine there is a full page story (page 50) on a new novel about the Smiths entitled "How Soon is Never." It is written by Spin writer Marc Spitz, who is apparently an obsessive Smiths fan, and the book is a fictional account of him trying to get the Smiths back together (based on real experiences, however). There are some nice shots of Morrissey in this article, and plenty of gladioli.

In the october 2003 issue of spin moz gets several mentions. Marc Spitz interviews himself, yes himself, on his forthcoming book, "How Soon Is Never ?". The article is called "Meeting is Murder" and features a picture of two Marc Spitz's sitting in his office across the table from another with two large, beautiful pictures of Morrissey and just to add that extra touch of mozzy a vase with gladioli. From the article :

"Spin senior editor Marc Spitz is not only a music journalist and obsessive Smiths fan, he's also a debuting novelist. His new book, HOW SOON IS NEVER?, concens a music journalist and obsessive smiths fan who tries to reunite the legendary band on the eve of his 30th birthday. Spitz did that, too, but he insists that this is a work of fiction. so who better to settle this dispute than... Marc Spitz? In a rare joint interview, the journalist and the author sit down and put their heads together."

Also featured is a feature and review on the new band "Pretty Girls Make Graves" who of course got their name from the Smiths song of the same name. The Smiths are discussed in the review and feature.

    Pretty Girls Make Graves are a great band. But whatever happened to Jack Kerouac? The Smiths' song title just pushed him out of existence I suppose.
