Publisher's Synopsis
Iconic Albums - Morrissey - Kill Uncle
A Deep Dive into One of Morrissey's Most Misunderstood Masterpieces
By Richard Ward
What do you get when one of the most polarizing voices in British music history releases an album full of contradictions, deadpan humour, and aching alienation?
You get Kill Uncle-and you get a story worth telling.
In this essential volume of the Iconic Albums series, author Richard Ward re-examines Morrissey's enigmatic 1991 solo album in all its awkward, theatrical, and haunting glory. Often dismissed as a transitional work or creative misstep, Kill Uncle is finally given its due: a richly layered, sharply observed portrait of an artist between worlds-between The Smiths and something new, between irony and sincerity, between performance and confession.
