Beware the novelist . . . intimate and indiscreet . . . pompous, prophetic airs . . . here is the fact of fiction . . . an American tale where, naturally, evil conquers good, and none live happily ever after, for the complicated pangs of the empty experiences of flesh-and-blood human figures are the reason why nothing can ever be enough. To read a book is to let a root sink down. List of the lostis the reality of what is true battling against what is permitted to be true.' Morrissey Penguin Books is delighted to announce the forthcoming publication of List of the Lost, Morrissey's extraordinary novel, on 24 September. High-octane, ferociously lyrical, List of the Lost shows a side of Morrissey never seen before.

Despite being just over a hundred pages this was thick with near inpenetrable purple prose bulking out a very thin story. It was a failure, but an admirable one.
