THE UNCUT #1 BOOK OF THE YEAR A NEW STATESMAN and MOJO BOOK OF THE YEAR "Paul Morley writes about things you thought you knew about -- and then shows you so many new facets. Reading From Manchester With Love I feel I understand the times we've lived through differently, better, and from new angles. The writing is compelling and musical, befitting its extraordinary subject. I never met Tony Wilson, but now I feel as though I knew him well -- and I'm sorry that I didn't." -- Brian Eno "A gigantic, haphazard and unexpectedly emotional monolith...Morley captures Wilson's vainglorious chaos . . . The man/myth Wilson died aged 57 in 2007, but here he burns on fantastically bright." -- Uncut "More than a mind map, the book's peculiarity and expanse and, yes, love, means it becomes an immersive experience. I found it very moving indeed." -- Observer "Paul Morley's writing has been delighting and exasperating me since his NME work in the late 1970s. His biography of Anthony H Wilson - TV presenter, music entrepreneur and evangelist, provocateur - From Manchester with Love is by far his best book."-- New Statesman (Books of the Year) "Morley's biography is as illuminating on Wilson's strange ability to hold others in his orbit, even after his death, as it is on the story of his life . . . fascinating." -- Spectator "As much a (brilliant) biography of Manchester as it is of Tony Wilson . . . It's a fantastically written, sprawling, superbly research book that's both heartfelt tribute and essential reference work." -- Classic Rock "This is no ordinary biography . . . a work unto itself, solidifying Tony Wilson as a postmodern hero . . . It's brilliant, and I can only guess that the hero of the story would be charmed by Morley's clever interplay between truth and legend . . . I have to imagine Tony Wilson (if ghosts of dead impresarios read from their graves) is pleased with From Manchester with Love: The Life and Opinions of Tony Wilson ." -- Louder Than War "Written with Technicolour perspective, humour, pathos and empathy in fluid, immensely readable prose, it is a book that does justice to Wilson's memory and enduring influence." -- Record Collector "As close to an official Tony Wilson biography that we're likely to get . . . A mix of biography, oral history, memoir, and tangential history lessons, its non-linear approach works well." -- MOJO "Morley's book spins acute, multi-layered insights into music, culture and the very soul of the city . . . captivating . . . Across 600 pages, each of the 51 chapters weaves dream states with journalistic investigation, a tale of how one human being, with the help of like-minded spirits, psychically co-opted an entire city." -- Confidentials "Everything you wanted to know (and more) about a critical punk/new wave hub and its favorite son." -- Kirkus, THE UNCUT #1 BOOK OF THE YEAR A NEW STATESMAN and MOJO BOOK OF THE YEAR "Paul Morley writes about things you thought you knew about -- and then shows you so many new facets.

Synopsis
Critically-acclaimed and bestselling author Paul Morley's long-awaited biography of Factory Records co-founder and Manchester icon Tony Wilson. 'When forced to pick between truth and legend, print the legend.' - Tony Wilson To write about Tony Wilson, AKA Anthony H. Wilson, is to write about a number of public and private characters and personalities, a clique of unreliable narrators, constantly changing shape and form. At the helm of Factory Records and the Hacienda, Wilson unleashed landmark acts such as Joy Division and New Order into the world as he pursued myriad other creative endeavours, appointing himself a custodian of Manchester's legacy of innovation and change. To Paul Morley he was this and much more: bullshitting hustler, flashy showman, aesthetic adventurer, mean factory boss, self-deprecating chancer, intellectual celebrity, loyal friend, shrewd mentor, insatiable publicity seeker. It was Morley to whom Wilson left a daunting final request: to write this book. From Manchester With Love , then, is the biography of a man who became eponymous with his city, of the music he championed and the myths he made, of love and hate, of life and death. In the cultural theatre of Manchester, Tony Wilson broke in and took centre-stage., Critically-acclaimed and bestselling author Paul Morley's long-awaited biography of Factory Records co-founder and Manchester icon Tony Wilson.

- i***9 (26746)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis book arrived today and could have been packaged a bit better. The vinyl shipping envelope did not protect this book from marring, damaged book corners and cover sleeve damage. The mailer was also torn. Perhaps wrapping the book in a cardboard cover will have prevented the damaged to the product inside. Would not have added anymore shipping cost of USPS Bound Printed Matter. Needs improvement in shipping. I got a good decent copy as opposed to New.
