For just as his music and movie taste always has hinted sees Morrissey himself as an artist doomed

It is seldom that I during the reading of a book has gone back so many times a certain sense, or a subordinate clause, I just read, and laughed right out. Sometimes it takes just a few seconds longer for us mere mortals to Morrissey token will fall down.
That Morrissey chose to locate the only book signing of his autobiography to a Akademibokhandelsgruppen at a shopping center in Gothenburg has been met with equally raised eyebrows when he at one time occurred in Leif "Loket" Olsson in "Bingo Lotto".
I felt it extremely logical, "very Morrissey," with both "Bingo Lotto" and book signing in North Town. That is exactly where he wants to be. In a place that apparently is totally wrong but just because so right.
For just as his music and movie taste always has hinted sees Morrissey himself as an artist doomed to behave in any old casino in Blackpool. As a "third on the bill" s Al Martino and Peter Noone. Or why not after the Jump the Gun, whose "Judy, my friend," he pays tribute to the very beginning of the autobiography.
But in the "Autobiography" he draws a self-portrait of a person who is not content with less than to be the greatest. Morrissey is - of course - a complex figure who one day rescues an injured pelican flash fiction on solo holidays in southern France, for the next morning - once again - to say his acquaintance with any agent or record label boss. His own worst enemy.
Morrissey also remains, in their own eyes, constantly misunderstood. Of everyone and everything, except his devoted flash fiction audience. The greatest love he gets them he now faces, increasingly, in Mexico and here in Scandinavia. He describes his passionate love for just Gothenburg and admits he even has gone around the city with a camera. But adds that he will probably flash fiction never look at the photos.
He will also return full time to his beloved, faded stars from British light entertainment (and, in and of itself, The New York Dolls); to those figures who often graced the Smiths so thought through album covers and with whom he wanted to show that "everydayness" could be "a powerful instrument."
It is both touching and painful to read about Morrissey's early life and school flash fiction years, which has become so well-documented in his poetry. But here gallery of life. All who have meant something for Morrissey but remained unmentioned in interviews has suddenly names and faces. Just because he chooses to publish private photos of friends flash fiction and ex-boyfriends are almost touching.
Maybe you have to have - or have had - a pretty intense relationship with Morrissey to feel that way? But for us Anglophiles, it is extremely special to be reminded flash fiction why he was once the most important thing that happened to the world since, say, 'Coronation Street'.
And "Autobiography" is so obviously his only and last chance to set things right: everything - everything! - To be teased out, sometimes painfully meticulous detail. His paradoxical relationship and hate relationship with England and the British flash fiction music press (notably the weekly magazine NME as Morrissey accused of having racist views and that "flirting with fascism") ultimately becomes flash fiction a DOGMATISM Semitic uncle's flash fiction incessant nagging. Long harangues about the British justice system and on the trial from the 90th century - where former The Smiths members demanded retroactive royalties - conveyed the same bitter way.
One of the big surprises is how fine, frank and sincere, he writes of his - of course - very few love relationships. As time with former boyfriend Jake or the almost shocking plan to have children with an Iranian flash fiction friend in Los Angeles.
In "Autobiography" miss Morrissey is not a single chance to mention the legends he has met. The difference is that Morrissey's legends - more often than others - is the Italian pop singer Rita Pavone. Or Eartha Kitt, he meets with a short and very one-sided handshake on a desolate Canadian airport.
And it is, of course, very entertaining flash fiction to take part of. Private letters and carefully memorized calls compliment the reading. The Smiths record label boss Geoff Travis executed with sharp precision and Morrissey's opinions about his incompetence shows no signs of running out.
People are stingy, greedy, stupid. flash fiction "Autobiography" is in many respects an endless literary revenge. Hardly anyone is spared from his sharpened pencil. The few good things in Morrissey's book is either dead or so, they belong to the minority of loyal friends and fellow musicians that he appreciates. Only two writers venerate him (against better judgment): Julie Burchill and Paul Morley.
Morrissey himself just dream about clean sheets and despise obesity, its own incipient such included. He publishes street addresses where he lived through the years and will, of course, with the knowledge that they will be perpetuated by future generations who throng there.
