Renegade: The Lives and Tales of Mark E. Smith

Ostensibly the memoirs of The Fall’s lead vocalist, our guess is that the writing process consisted of Mark E. Smith sitting down in a pub and spewing volumes of autobiographical vitriol to some journo with a micro-cassette recorder. Which was subsequently transcribed verbatim…

Which could’ve been any day in the life of Smith… but in this instance, he got paid.
