Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morrissey & Marr: The Severed Alliance is among the most successful – and controversial – rock biographies ever published.

Widely acclaimed as one rock’s leading writers, Johnny Rogan now brings yet more insight and analysis to his best-selling book that revealed, for the first time, the true and unsanitised story of The Smiths – the most important group of their generation.

Download or read book Morrissey written by Gavin Hopps and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-06-26 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morrissey is arguably the greatest disturbance popular music has ever known. Even more than the choreographed carelessness of punk and the hyperbolic gestures of glam rock and the New Romantics, Morrissey's early bookish ineptitude, his celebration of the ordinary, and his subversive endorsement of celibacy, abstinence and rock 'n' roll revolutionized the world of British pop. As a solo artist, too, he consistently adopts the outsider's perspective and dares us to confront uncomfortable subjects. In his brilliant book, Gavin Hopps examines the work of this compelling performer, whose intelligence, humour, suffering and awkwardness have fascinated audiences around the world for the last 25 years. Hopps traces the trajectory of Morrissey's career and outlines the contours and contradictions of the singer's elusive persona. The book illuminates Morrissey's coyness (how can he remain a mystery when he tells us too much?), his dramatized melancholy (surely more of a radical existential protest than the gimmick some believe it to be), and his complex attitudes towards loneliness and alienation, as well as his intriguing sense of the religious.

Download or read book Scratch My Name on Your Arm written by Deanna Templeton and published by Schunck. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past five years, Deanna Templeton has been photographing skateboard demonstrations, surfing competitions and other beachside congregations of kids in southern California. The photographs in Scratch My Name on Your Arm document a sexy trend emerging in Californian youth culture for getting famous surfers and skaters to autograph bare skin and underwear. Where once the autograph of an idol served primarily as a souvenir or keepsake (a scribble in a diary, on a poster or T-shirt), nowadays autographs on skin or intimate underwear have become the preferred method for drawing the attention of both the autographer and bystanders to one's scantily-clad self. In Scratch My Name on Your Arm, Templeton's black-and-white photographs record both an ephemeral form of calligraphy and body art and the burgeoning customs and styles of a subculture in the making.

Download or read book The Politics of Pain Postwar England and the Rise of Nationalism written by Fintan O'Toole and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I read The Politics of Pain: Postwar England and the Rise of Nationalism by Fintan O’Toole and wished I’d written it.” – Zadie Smith, Wall Street Journal From one of the most perceptive observers of the English today comes a brilliantly insightful, mordantly funny account of their seemingly irrational embrace of nationalism. England’s recent lurch to the right appears to be but one example of the nationalist wave sweeping across the world, yet as acclaimed Irish critic Fintan O’Toole suggests in The Politics of Pain, it is, in reality, a phenomenon rooted in World War II. We must look not to the vagaries of the European Union but, instead, far back to the end of the British empire, if we hope to understand our most fraternal ally—and the royal mess in which the British now find themselves. O’Toole depicts a roiling nation that almost ludicrously dreams of a German invasion, if only to get the blood going, and that erupts in faux outrage over regulations on “prawn-flavored crisps.” A sympathetic yet unsparing observer, O’Toole asks: How did a great nation bring itself to the point of such willful self-harm? His answer represents one of the most profound portraits of the English since Sarah Lyall’s New York Times bestseller The Anglo Files.

Book excerpt: The off ramp came as a surprise. Mechanically, I turned the steering wheel. Windshield wipers were keeping time with the pulsing bass pumping out the amp in the trunk, rain sliced through the night sky pelting a dreary line of soulless metallic shells. My knuckles were white, my palms sweaty. As I tried to light a cigarette, the numbness permeating my whole body intensified in my thumb, thwarting my attempts to spark the lighter. I had lost too much blood. Tears came rushing to my eyes, but I stifled them with a long snort. This was no time for weakness. It did not matter that I was alone in the car. Weakness is a choice. Certainly there are those who are predisposed to weakness, to cowardice, but it is inevitably a choice for which there is no excuse. One may point to past traumatic experiences, one may use their upbringing to rationalize character defects, but it always comes down to a choice. People choose to be weak, and that for me was not a choice. Well, it was a choice, but one that would ultimately lead to either prison or the grave. -excerpt from Portrait of a Drug Dealer

A virus breaks out in an African refugee camp and swiftly spreads. Within days it crosses the world and almost all human life is extinguished… The same disaster occurs across a hundred other mortal worlds, but on one, Alcarion, a few thousand survive in a city under a glass dome. In this city, Terrick, an engineer, repeatedly dreams of a girl with golden hair – and is surprised to encounter her for real. Meanwhile Ruth, now senior Guardian of the Guardian realm, is searching for the soul that was Paul Sayers, her father. Ruth gives Terrick the means to remember her father’s past life as a way to locate him. Paul emerges and returns to the Guardian realm. He learns of the devastation wrought by Ellerstelle across mortal worlds and the Guardian realm. Rebecca, his former guardian and love, is missing too, taken and presumed dead, along with one of the powerful crystals that allow the Guardians to exist. Ruth needs Paul to travel once again to Casserhan, the realm of lost souls, to recover the crystal. But his previous encounters have left many scars and a bounty on his head. Can Paul’s journey succeed? Return to Genesis is a very different kind of fantasy fiction, perfect for the reader who wants to keep their feet in the real world.
