Publisher Seeks Rights to Morrissey’s Memoirs in Letter

Filed under: News,

An Open Letter to Morrissey‘ has been posted online at book publishing company Faber & Faber’s blog by senior editor Lee Brackstone — whose dream it is to see the former Smiths singer join ‘The House of Eliot.’

Morrissey — who revealed that he had started writing his memoirs in 2008 — is reminded by Brackstone that they have spoken before about the offered publishing deal, the editor begins. “I have been trying to persuade you of the virtues and wisdom of this for some years now. You probably won’t remember,” Brackstone writes.

The heartfelt letter of persuasion continues, explaining, “Our shelves groan and bulge and spill over under the weight of Ezra, Larkin, Hughes and Heaney. And that’s just the surface; deep as it may seem. We feel very strongly that you belong in this company. To me (and to many of my colleagues) you are already in this company.”
