Addiction, poetry, flirting with Scientology: these candid memoirs and biographies reveal the inner lives of musicians

(Faber & Faber, 2014)
A no-nonsense sojourn through Albertine’s life as guitarist in the Slits and, later, as a film-maker, mother and divorcee, and during which she blithely chats about masturbation, catching crabs and giving Johnny Rotten a blowjob. It’s a terrific read and provides a corrective to the reigning punk narrative where men are the creative geniuses and women the bit-part players.
