Title: Missing from nearby
Review: When I bought this book I thought I would get to know a bit about Ian Curtis, but the person who wrote this book (his ex-wife!) doesn't seem to have been living in the same country as Ian let alone the same house. 'Debby' never had any meaningful conversation with him, didn't know lyrics until after the albums were published and hardly ever went to a concert. It's not a biography of Ian Curtis, it's the depressing story of an abandoned mother somewhere on the outskirts of Manchester. You get a glimpse of the exciting things that were going on at the time, concerts by all kinds of (to me) legendary bands like The Buzzcocks, but Ms Curtis doesn't bring us any closer to the excitement. The discography and the lyrics are what makes the book worth it's money (and I bought it 2nd hand).
