What if Joe Green can get the Smiths back together?
What if reuniting the long-broken-up band can reverse the passage of time and bring back the magic of youth?
What if it helps him win the heart of the woman he loves?
How Soon Is Never? is an acerbic, ingenious look at the trauma of Reagan-era adolescence,
the power of hearing a record that changes your life, and the dangers of nostalgia.

"Dear Morrissey,
I'm feeling dead depressed and down. Like a street-lamp without a bulb or a goose at the onset
of Christmas time. Anyroad, I thought I'd pen a few lines to someone who'd understand.
I know you probably won't answer this; I don't know if it'll even get to you.
And, anyhow, even if you wrote back which I know is highly dubious it wouldn't get to me because
I'll have gone. The above address is just a service station I'm stopped at.
I'll probably not even post it. I'm writing this in the book I use for writing my lyrics
and putting my ideas down. It's sort of a journal, I suppose; although that makes it sound
more important than it really is."
From the Back Cover: In The Wrong Boy, Willy Russell tells the unforgettable story of the ultimate outsider.
Raymond Marks is a normal boy, from a normal family, in a normal northern town.
Until, on the banks of the Rochdale Canal, one single incident changes his life forever.
For Raymond, and for everyone with whom he comes in contact, nothing is ever quite so normal again.
Full of memorable characters and heartstopping moments,
The Wrong Boy is one of the funniest, and most moving, novels you will ever read.
by Shelagh Delaney
Morrissey borrowed a lot from this play
-song: " Reel Around The Fountain"
" You're the bee's knees, but so am I" and
" I dreamt about you last night, and I fell out of bed twice"
-song: " This Night Has Opened My Eyes"
" You can't just wrap it up in a bundle of newspaper" ,
"...and dump it on a doorstep"
" That river, it's the colour of lead" ,
" I'm not sorry and I'm not glad"
" Oh well, the dream's gone, but the baby's real enough"
-song: " You've Got Everything Now"
"...as merry as the day is long"
by Shelagh Delaney
The line
"...rattle by bones all over the stones, I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns" in the song
" The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" is from this book
by Elizabeth Smart
Morrissey borrowed a lot from this book
-song: " Shakespeare's Sister"
" ...our bones groaned like old trees..."
-song: " Late Night, Maudlin Street"
" They are taking me away in a police car..."
" Are you not convinced, inspector ? Do you not believe in love ?"
-song: " What She Said"
" I have learned to smoke because I need something to hold on to."
" ...I wonder why no one has noticed that I am dead and taken the trouble to bury me"
-song: " Well I Wonder"
" ... do you hear me where you sleep ?"
-Album title: " Louder Than Bombs"
" ...louder than bombs or screams or the inside ticking of remorse..."
by Antoine De Saint-Exupery, Katherine Woods (Translator)
The book that Morrissey gets from the little boy ( his nephew ) in the video for "Suedehead".
Said to be one of his favourite books.
Amazon.com:
It is hard to think of any book so widely read and internationally loved by both children and
adults as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince, originally written as
Le Petit Prince in 1943.
A fable in the most classic sense, this wise story offers layer upon layer to be peeled away with
each reading. Just as with the narrator's Drawing Number One,
The Little Prince can truly be understood only by children
(a classification that has nothing to do with age).
And here is a Webpage about The Little Prince
by Graham Greene
Dallow, Spicer, Pinkie, Cubitt, wich Morrissey referes to as his 'friends' in the song
" Now My Heart Is Full" , are all characters in this book.
by Douglas Coupland
An offbeat new novel by the bestselling author of " Generation X" and " Microserfs".
The title is of course borrowed from The Smiths' song
by Irvine Welsh
In the book there is a chapter named " There Is a Light That Never Goes Out"
And a passage goes like this:
-" They went down into an underpass and Spud thought that he should try to put his arm around Nicola.
Then a passage from a Smiths' song, one he'd always liked called:
"There Is A Light That Never Goes Out", came into his head: and in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God my chance has come at last
but then a strange fear gripped me
and I just couldn't ask
Morrissey's sad voice summed up his feelings."
by Radclyffe Hall
Hall is one of Morrissey's favourite authors, and her best-known novel
contains a proclamation of difference and fortitude which seems
central to Morrissey's own identity as a writer and performer.
by Paul Alexander
The first biography of James Dean to look beyond the Hollywood manufactured cliche
to the volatile polarities, conflicted sexuality, and childhood trauma of the person himself,
Boulevard of Broken Dreams explores the process by which Dean became the electric and exciting
actor who came to stand for a whole generation's feelings of rebellion.
by Morrissey
