Written by Ian Curtis's ex-wife (Deborah), this is one of the best books about Ian Curtis, Joy Division, Factory and Manchester.
In "Touching from a Distance" his widow pieces together why - despite his impending international fame and young family - Curtis took his own life on 18 May 1980. Regarded as the essential book on the essential icon of the post-punk era, "Touching from a Distance" includes a full set of Curtis' lyrics, discography and more.
