'As leader of The Smiths and as a solo-artiste, Morrissey has consistently provoked a response from fans and critics alike in which there are no half-measures. This book examines the many complexities and contradictions that make up one of the most important, iconic and controversial figures within recent popular culture and alternative music. '

And all we want is the Autobiography!!!!!!
