We need Morrissey now. A book by an enthusiastic blogger on how to live life tough with the "Morrissey philosophy."
Recommended by Mikako Brady!
"When I heard that his autobiography was being translated, I wondered who on earth could undertake such a reckless task... but when I read this book, written by the man himself, I understood. It made me laugh and cry in the process. Morrissey often makes me cry, but once he stings you, it's hard to shake. This book is an earnest discussion of what the true intentions of the troublemaker Morrissey are, and how he came to think that way. I want everyone who still lives with the thorn that is Morrissey to read it."
