5 stars.
This book takes you from the minutae of a child's life to an absolute monster of a tradegy.The the strength of this book
lies in the publication of the letters between Curtis and Honore and Mr.Middles identification of the many variables of epilepsy,fame,marital breakdown,love,art and business that broke a young and very talented guy. A great book.
Oh,and the depiction of Martin Hannet as somekind of MadHatter is brilliant...a real genius.
5 stars
This is an excellent biography featuring a lot of new information notably from Ian's family and from those who knew him intimately towards the end of his short life. Featuring photos from the Curtis family album, information about his childhood - right through to extracts from letters between Ian Curtis and Annik Honore.
Highly recommended and equally as important as Deborah Curtis's "Touching From A Distance".
If you want to know the real story of Ian Curtis - the one behind the myth - this book is for you.
Summary of Torn Apart
Cloaked in mystique, Joy Division's extraordinary vocalist Ian Curtis tragically took his own life in 1980, leaving just two haunting albums and a depleted band that would famously evolve into New Order. 25 years later, the enigma of Ian Curtis has deepened to an unprecedented level. Devotees make regular pilgramages to both his hometown of Macclesfield and to Manchester, where the story of Joy Division and Factory Records has left a profound mark on the city. Examines his life, his work, his relationships and the cultural environment in which he lived and died.Music Books
