Morrissey Marr: The Severed Alliance is among the most successful ndash; and controversial ndash; rock biographies ever published. Having denounced the book and called for the death of its author Johnny Rogan; Morrissey later did a U-turn and cited it as evidence in the royalty-related court case brought by Smiths drummer Mike Joyce.Now; 20 years after it was first published; Rogan has returned to his definitive Smiths biography to produce a completely revised edition based on new information and new interviews to add to the almost 100 initially conducted over a four-year period.Widely acclaimed as one rockrsquo;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 ndash; the most important group of their generation.

A must for Japanese cultural readershipBy swimmerEvery translation by the esteemed translator of Japanese literature Donald Keene is outstanding and a joy to read. Watanabe Kazan is worthy of such an a sympathetic and enlightening subject. We dont usually know that much about extraordinary painters. thus is most fortunate for English speakers to read about Kazans lifes journey.
