PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Brett Anderson is the founder and lead singer of Suede.
A compelling personal account of the dramas of a singular British band Anderson writes with a combination of guarded introspection and detachment . . . he conjures a cracked and confused persona, fumbling his way through a bizarre early adulthood, by turns gleefully hedonistic and wantonly self-destructive, hardworking and profligate, egotistical and insecure, a character more likely to be seen shuffling around in a dressing-grown smoking fags and staring out the window than prancing on the stage . . . Afternoons With the Blinds Drawn is another milestone in a flourishing latterday career - Guardian True to his word, this is another music book that steers away from the expected . . . it has a brazen confidence and it's rarely dull. As such, Afternoons With the Blinds Down is a worthy successor to Coal Black Mornings - The Times Honest and lyrical . . . Anderson, in his lyrics, has always been fantastic at capturing the sleaze of underground city living and he does the same here . . . Anderson's writing is as he is in real life: sharp, unsparing and sensitive - Observer Thanks to his thoughtful analysis of those wild times, Afternoons with the Blinds Drawn lets in a lot of light - Sunday Times
