Morrissey (Paperback)

~ Pat Reid (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Morrissey has been one of the most enigmatic and compelling figures in the history of pop music. Critically acclaimed albums from his band The Smiths ensured they would be remembered as one of the most significant British bands of all time. However, it is the still-vexed question of Morrissey's sexuality that Pat Reid addresses in this groundbreaking Outline. If Morrissey is the quintessential "gay artist"-in that his work certainly qualifies as "gay art" although the man himself has never made any claims about his sexuality other than he is celibate-why is the gay community so indifferent or indeed hostile to him?
