Excerpt from In the Shadow of the Drum Tower In the farthest corner of a little mud house lay a tiny yellow form, racked with a scorching fever. The day was mercilessly hot, but in the middle of the hut was a fire burning brightly and filling the air with choking smoke, for the only outlet was a hole in the wall. A woman, weary with watching, struggled about to keep the fire hot. Surely the heat would drive away the evil spirit that was haunting the body Of her baby boy! She leaned low over the tiny form. The heartbeat was so faint that she could scarcely hear it. The breath came short and the hand was limp and cold. She knew that Death was near, and he must not find his victim under cover. If he did, the evil spirits would haunt the house ever after. Gathering all the garments the baby had ever worn, and catching her boy to her heart, she stumbled out Of the hut into the full light of a summer day. The sunlight dazzled her, and the throbbing in her temples was almost beyond endurance. She must lay him on the hillside, but let it be in the shade where the burning rays of the sun would be warded Off. Stumblingly, with many a halt and struggle, the weary woman at last reached the place for which she was searching - the shadow of the great Drum Tower! She fell to a sitting posture, and fighting the age-old sorrow that oppressed her, proceeded to put on the dying baby the garments she had brought. He would need them all in the world to which he was going. How she longed for more to contribute to his happiness and comfort in the eternities to come! Just then the great drum sounded out the noontime call to prayer. Unable to endure the dull thud in her ears she took one last look at the drawn little face and fled.

Evening Standard Book of the Year. Observer Book of the Year. Guardian Book of the Year. Sunday Times Book of the Year. Telegraph Book of the Year. New Statesman Book of the Year. Herald Book of the Year. Mojo Book of the Year. Brett Anderson came from a world impossibly distant from rock star success, and in Coal Black Mornings he traces the journey that took him from a childhood as 'a snotty, sniffy, slightly maudlin sort of boy raised on Salad Cream and milky tea and cheap meat' to becoming founder and lead singer of Suede. Anderson grew up in Hayward's Heath on the grubby fringes of the Home Counties. As a teenager he clashed with his eccentric taxi-driving father (who would parade around their council house dressed as Lawrence of Arabia, air-conducting his favourite composers) and adored his beautiful, artistic mother. He brilliantly evokes the seventies, the suffocating discomfort of a very English kind of poverty and the burning need for escape that it breeds. Anderson charts the shabby romance of creativity as he travelled the tube in search of inspiration, fuelled by Marmite and nicotine, and Suede's rise from rehearsals in bedrooms, squats and pubs. And he catalogues the intense relationships that make and break bands as well as the devastating loss of his mother. Coal Black Mornings is profoundly moving, funny and intense - a book which stands alongside the most emotionally truthful of personal stories.
