Steven Morrissey — the unstoppable lover of animals, the bard of ‘80s misery pop, and spokesperson for elephants kept in Filipino zoo cages — has released his memoir, and like the subject himself, it is a series of outspoken positions delivered by a man whose ego has remained strong, nurtured like a hothouse flower despite decades of exile from Smithsville.

I wrote those words somewhere in an old notebook which has collected thoughts, dust, drawings, stains and decaying dreams over the years.
