"Excellent ... it's the ultimate oral history of one of rock's most
haunting legends" -- Rob Sheffield Rolling Stone
"Fans of the band will delight in the intimacy of the many stories
and anecdotes, some of which are being shared publicly for the
first time.... This Searing Light, The Sun And Everything Else
represents the consolidated authoritative history of this important
band, and as such it may in fact prove to be the last word on the
topic. For fans of Joy Division, and of punk, post-punk, and
British music generally, this is a must read."--Brooklyn Rail
