"My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary" by Rae Earl

The debut novel by author Rae Earl ('My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary') is apparently a semi-autobiographical account of Earl's teenaged years, in which the only saving grace of her lonely existence is Morrissey. It hasn't been published yet so I'm not sure how good a read it is, but it does mention our man so I will be giving it a go. I think the release date is 23rd August.

I agree. The eighties were a pretty tough period. Specially the last years of it. There was hatred in the air. If The Smiths didn't happen, then it could have been collective suicide.

There was an extract in last weekend's Guardian - it's rubbish.
