Coal Black Mornings, Paperback

Published to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Suede's first album, this sophisticatedly written memoir from the band's singer is already being hailed as a classic book of Britain in the early 1990s. Anderson paints his journey from a very English poverty to the intense dynamics of Suede at the peak of its success with moving colours, likened by Douglas Coupland to Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius.
