Morrissey announces release date for his debut novel List of the Lost

The singer already had his memoir, Autobiography, become a big hit around the world and, next month, he will become a fiction writer with his first novel, List of the Lost.

Morrissey will soon follow up 2013’s Autobiography with his first fiction novel.

Penguin Books (UK) will publish Moz’ fictional tome in softcover format at the end of September, nearly two years after the release of Autobiography.

List of the Lost will be published next month, according to the Morrissey fansite True To You, which is regarded as the nearest thing the singer has to an official mouthpiece.

Publishers at Penguin Books will confirm an exact on sale date this coming week. As of now, List of the Lost will only be available in paperback and only in the UK, Ireland, Australia, India, New Zealand, and South Africa. But from experience, I can tell you that if you order the book online from a British website, it’ll come between two and eight weeks!

Morrissey’s Joycean Autobiography was met with scepticism, with The Independent’s chief literary critic Boyd Tonkin describing it to have “droning narcissism and the whine of self-pity”. “I have my hopes”. When it might see a US release is not yet known.
