Morrissey In Conversation: The Essential Interviews

Such a brilliant mind in a marvelous artist. Another enjoyable read for Smiths/Morrissey fans of all ages!

As a Mozzer fan too young to have caught all his early quirky brilliance the first time around, I was incredibly excited to pick up Morrissey in Conversation. Paul Woods has curated a solid collection of interviews that gives an idea of the range of responses the British and American music press had to Morrissey throughout his career in the Smiths and as a solo artist. For me, this added a nice level of history to Morrissey's music that I'd never had before. But, more importantly than all that, Morrissey is hilarious. If you want to laugh out loud at clever literary witticisms and silly bon mots, buy this book.

Perfect in every way, like Morrissey himself ;)

Bought this book as a gift for my daughter who is a big Morrissey fan. She enjoyed it.

very nice collection of interviews, for the price a good piece for the Morrissey collector.easy reading, indept interviews. Quality work.

Morrissey is awesome

For those who likes the music and life of Morrissey this is a very good book. It is worth the money. Full of good interviews and pictures.

I gave this 3 stars because it was a Morrissey produce but I did not like it at all

Very entertaining reading, highly recommend to anybody interested in Moz. While I would never agree with everything our boy has said, I do find him to be an emotionally intelligent and unique! I like that the book spans the smiths up until the years of refusal l.p.. We get to hear from Moz through many many years.I found all the interviews both interesting and engaging.:)

For anybody interested in reading the interviews and thoughts of a very intriguing and unique music icon, this book is brilliant. Whether you love him or hate him, these Morrissey interviews, as all of his interviews will, be sure to provoke a reaction. Buy this book for an insight into the mind of a very interesting character!And if you love the Smiths or Morrissey, it's a must.

My dad absolutely LOVED this book, can't seem to put it down. A must have for all Morrissey fans!Would recommend

Imagine a dinner party taking place where the guest list includes Oscar Wilde, Joe Orton, Victoria Wood, Kenneth Williams and Alan Bennett. Standing in the corner, paying rapt attention, is a solitary figure scribbling notes and recording the finer observations and conversations of the gathering.Reading this collection of interviews one could reasonably assume that the solitary figure was Steven Patrick Morrissey once the front person of the world's greatest band and arguably still the worlds greatest lyricist.No one gives better interview than Morrissey as this collection clearly attests. These pages are drenched with the influence of the dinner party guests: The flowery, poetic and slightly anachronistic influence of Wilde's language. The witty, often poignantly accurate character observations of Wood and Bennett. And, most significantly, the camp `knowing' humour of Orton and Williams.Like many lines from his songs, some of Morrissey's responses to questions or his observations on life are genuinely laugh out loud funny. I furrow my brow and shake my head crossly at the fact that this man was once considered by many to be `the ambassador of doom' during his reign in the 80's and early 90's. The truth is that Morrissey showed comedic genius in almost everything he did. Oh how his contemporaries must have wept with envy whenever they came across a Morrissey interview in the music press.Read this book and agree with me wholeheartedly or, to paraphrase the master, risk being spanked with a wet plimsoll!

it’s alright. i’d advise you to instead not buy it at all, all of the interviews are easily accessible via google. save your money.

Well worth the wait thank you

Very, very useful.
