the best book i`ve ever read was touching from a distance- ian curtis and joy division by deborah curtis.

the most honest biography i think has ever been written, written by his widow. this book made me cry in public. (i was reading it on a coach journey) ian curtis committed suicide at the age of 24 and at the height of his success. i was shocked to read that although people thought he was a genius (including me)
he was a bully towards his wife and cause of his epilepsy never held his daughter.

anyone who has listening to joy division should read this book
