Description
Ian Curtis's life was a complex mix of artistic genius and personal turmoil. His widow, Deborah Curtis, offers a deeply personal and insightful look at his life in this biography. With a foreword by Jon Savage and an introduction by Steven Morris, Touching from a Distance provides a nuanced and detailed portrait of a man who struggled to balance his public persona with his private demons. Curtis's story is one of seduction and tragedy, as he was drawn to the idea of an early grave despite the promise of international fame and a family of his own. This book includes a full set of his lyrics, a discography, and a gig list, giving readers a comprehensive understanding of his life and work. Touching from a Distance is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most iconic figures of the post-punk era.
