Jonathan Coe, the author of a novel with a narrative arc signposted by Smiths lyrics (on which a film which was mentioned in this forum was based) has a new book out. Since The Rotters' Club (the first of a two-parter separated by twenty years) is set in the '70s, it is, strictly speaking, a Morrissey-free zone, instead using prog-rock such as Hatfield & the North (soundtracking the characters' hopes and social justice) and "dole-queue rock" (i.e., punk, soundtracking their violent ends). However, certain readers (of a type familiar to this forum) have spotted Morrissey's presence in a more subtle way. Or at least, this joker did during an online chat hosted by the London & Manchester Guardian: DavidBar - 02:02pm Mar 6, 2001 BST
