Description
Ian Curtis's intensely personal writings, presented in So This Is Permanence, offer a unique glimpse into the life and creative process of one of the most enigmatic songwriters of the late twentieth century. The book is a collection of lyrics, interspersed with previously unpublished facsimile pages of Ian's notebooks, which shed light on the emotional depth and poetic complexity of his work. The lyrics, infused with the energy of punk and a resigned longing, reflect Ian's inner struggles with depression, epilepsy, and debilitating stage fright. These deeply personal writings, alongside the notebooks, provide a fascinating insight into the creative process of a singularly talented songwriter. This book presents a poignant and thought-provoking portrait of a highly expressive and innovative artist, whose work continues to resonate with audiences today.
