In an open later to former Smiths front man Morrisey, the head of Faber & Faber grovels, fawns, implores, begs, tempts & pretty much shows himself up in an attempt to get Morrisey to publish his "memoirs" via F & F. An interesting case of role reversal but quite astonishing-Morrisey is surely a niche market & his early life is likely to consist of of got up;had cup of tea;when to dole office; another cup of tea; went to the cemetery; went home; went to bed & other stuff in that vein. Is this the first case of its kind I wonder & will Ben Stone (I think it was he) be disappointed?
Only an "s" stands between laughter and slaughter.

Is this the first case of its kind I wonder & will Ben Stone (I think it was he) be disappointed? Clearly another case of the generation that arrives in positions of power & decision making, once landing behind the fat desks looking back to their own childhood/teenagehood for 'inspiration' and inflicting such self-indulgent nostalgia on the rest of us.

Be interesting if Morrisey accepts this charming man's (sorry) offer & then dishes up 50 thousand words of drivel & trousers a big advance.

Johnny Marr was the only talent associated with The Smiths. And I didn't like him either

It's all too common these days, this is the competition whether we like it or not. But, I suppose anything that gets people reading is good ...

Does that go for Katie Price, author of about 40 books ? I'm just so amazed that someone has come out of fortress Faber & Faber to try & entice an untested author. I've been told F&F don't even have letter boxes in their offices to stop slush merchants pushing stuff through their doors.
