A review by categal
The Smiths' Meat Is Murder by Joe Pernice

4.0

This was a reread, and it held up for sure. I love the 33-1/3 series, and I especially love how this one doesn't fit the mold. It's fiction, not an analysis of The Smiths' album. If you lived through the 80s, you'll recognize the world that Pernice has (re)created. All the excess and angst are right there.

A favorite bit: the narrator's Mom refers to the band as "that Smith family", LOL.
