Would you lot be interested to read the essay that Morrissey wrote for the new monograph of Linder Sterling's work, "Linder Works 1976-2006"?
The book was published this summer. I got it from amazon, I've read it, it's great. It has, of course, lots of photos, and presents her work in collages, drawings, photography, etc. and does its best to present her music and performance art as much as it's possible. It also has several really good essays, written by Morrissey, Jon Savage, Philip Hoare, Linder herself (her account of the punk era in Manchester is quite interesting) and a couple of other people. Morrissey's essay is relatively short, but very interesting and IMO, beautiful... (it's also quite interesting that he used a couple of phrases he used in the early Smiths song) and he is also mentioned a few other times in the book.
I'm not sure if it's allowed to quote an entire article from the book, even if it's just 2 or 3 pages long? Is that OK? Anyway, I'll leave it for tomorrow, I have to go to bed now. Tell me if I should make the effort to type it...
