Autobiography by Morrissey is a raw and unfiltered account of the singer-songwriter’s life, from his formative years to his rise as the frontman of The Smiths and his solo career. Released in 2013 under Penguin Classics, the book broke records for first-week sales in the UK and topped Ireland’s non-fiction charts. Morrissey’s narrative is unconventional, with no chapters and a sprawling opening paragraph, as he delves into his influences, legal battles, and personal relationships. The memoir is marked by its candid critiques of collaborators, earning it both praise and criticism for its originality and self-indulgence.
