There is no other contemporary artist who is so famously difficult, so apparently enigmatic, and so passionately, religiously loved by his fans as Morrissey.

However, as Mark Simpson argues in his wickedly funny and deeply sacrilegious portrait, Morrissey isn't quite so enigmatic as he might at first appear. To understand this most private and sexually ambivalent of stars and his seemingly erratic behavior, one needs only to do one thing: Listen to him.

At once devil's advocate and -counsel for canonization, Mark Simpson offers the finest psychological profile to date of England's most intelligent, most misunderstood, most charming and most alarming pop star.
