A FURIOUS DEVOTION (SHANE MACGOWAN), RICHARD BALLS
Shane MacGowan wrote some of the most beautiful and evocative songs of recent decades, but his life was far from a fairy tale. Beneath his wild image, this revealing biography tells the story of a shy and insecure man, a quick-witted poet of intelligence and intense spirituality. Through conversations with Shane himself at his Dublin home, and with the participation of his wife Victoria Clarke, his father Maurice, and his sister Siobhan, we discover what it was like to grow up in the English suburbs, to be expelled from Westminster School, and to experience his formative journeys to the family country house in Tipperary, the source of the music and stories that led him to found The Pogues. A fast-paced and turbulent life, from his beginnings with The Nips to triumphant tours of America, his tragic dismissal in Japan, and his unrelenting struggle with drug abuse. In A Furious Devotion, Shane opens up to us completely and looks us in the eye.
