| Summary |
The 17-year-old Steven Patrick Morrissey is a young dreamer amid the tough, macho world of 1970s northern England. When his parents' relationship begins to deteriorate, Steven blocks out family life and spends most of his time writing savage music letters to the NME. But what Steven really wants is to become the frontman of a band. Held back by shyness, he is paralysed by inaction. Steven's friend Anji declares that the world won't just come to him. Steven has to grow up fast when his father leaves the family. He takes a job at the Inland Revenue, a role for which his delicate hands are ill-suited. He lives out the office nightmare he always feared: a world of petty internal politics, micro-management and water cooler gossip |
