"Morrissey" by Pat Reid is out now. Back cover summary:

Although he has been famous for more than 20 years, Morrissey remains the greatest enigma in the popular music of the English-speaking world. His songs are characterised by aching loneliness interspersed with lacerating wit, his interviews set the benchmark for controversial utterances. His admirers include Bono, J. K. Rowling and Will Self. Adored by both male and female fans, Morrissey has always refused to discuss his sexuality, thus heightening his sense of mystery. A fan of Morrissey since his days with The Smiths, Pat Reid has written and insightful and deeply personal Outline of the singer's life and art, re-evaluating the man and his music in the context of late 20th century popular culture.
