This was a strange read. Both deeply serious and deeply glib.
Morley spends the entire book within his memories, looking for an understanding of his father’s suicide. There’s a whole section that deals with the death of Ian Curtis, but it’s still intimately tied in with Morley’s reactions to his father’s death.
I think that this is a book I’d recommend just to gauge other people’s reactions to it – I think very lively discussions could come out of it.
Rating: B+

This is the sequel to The Straw Men. It’s a good read but not up to the quality of the first book. Especially the weird bit about neanderthals.
