'Beware the novelist . . . intimate and indiscreet . . . pompous, prophetic airs . . . here is the fact of fiction . . . an American tale where, naturally, evil conquers good, and none live happily ever after, for the complicated pangs of the empty experiences of flesh-and-blood human figures are the reason why nothing can ever be enough. To read a book is to let a root sink down. List of the lost is the reality of what is true battling against what is permitted to be true.' Morrissey
Penguin Books is delighted to announce the forthcoming publication of List of the Lost, Morrissey's extraordinary novel, on 24 September.

In his book Morrissey - In His Own Words, Morrissey is a contradiction. The arch recluse who relishes the media spotlight. The depressive who prances joyously on Top of The Pops. The leader of the archetypal indie band, who signed with EMI. The pacifist who advocated the assassination of Margaret Thatcher. The traditionalist who adopted modern technology. The outsider who became the establishment... along the way, Morrissey has talked, creating friends and enemies among his pop contemporaries, scandalizing the gutter press with talk of violence, sex and hate, and explaining his art in a whirlwind of verbiage that obscures as much as it reveals. More than any star since John Lennon, in his relentless quest for honesty, stopped short of describing his sexual failings and social disasters. Yes just as Albert Goldman has seen Lennon's soul-baring as a smoke-screen, so there is the possibility that all Morrissey's self-examination and stripping of barriers has itself been a clever game, a conscious attempt to concoct an image which would sell. Here, in his own words on sex, politics, music, childhood, solitude and regret, Morrissey occasionally contradicts himself, like any decent man. But is his every word itself a contradiction? Make up your own minds.

Before The Smiths and in-between musical stints, Morrissey wrote on popular culture. He published two works with Babylon Books: The New York Dolls (1981), about his favourite band; and James Dean is Not Dead (1983), about actor James Dean's brief career. In an interview about the cultural movie icon, Morrissey explains his obsession as follows: "I saw Rebel Without A Cause quite by accident when I was about 6. I was entirely enveloped. I did research about him and it was like unearthing Tutankhamun's tomb. His entire life seemed so magnificently perfect. What he did on film didn't stir me that much but as a person he was immensely valuable. Everything from his birth in a farming town to coming to New York, breaking into film and finding he didn't really want it when he had enormous success. At school it was an absolute drawback because nobody really cared about him. If they did, it was only in a synthetic rock and roll way. Nobody had a passion for him as I did - for that constant uneasiness with life. Even though he was making enormous strides with his craft, he was still incredibly miserable and obviously doomed. Which is exactly the quality Oscar Wilde had. That kind of mystical knowledge that there is something incredibly black around the corner. People who feel this are quite special and always end up in quite a mangled mess."
