Relevance
One of Morrissey's favourite books: ["Beyond Belief: A Chronicle of Murder and Its Detection"] - via NME interview (1983):
[Morrissey - "Portrait Of The Artist As A Consumer"]
In Autobiography, Morrissey describes his introduction to Williams:
"Ann riles with fury at Lord Longford, who repeatedly speaks up in defense of parole for Myra Hindley, and Ann tells me of the writer Emlyn Williams, once a famous stage actor but now more associated with his fleshy and painful account of the Brady–Hindley murders in his book Beyond Belief. At the time of his research Williams had pestered Ann and her family unremittingly, even appearing at the family home requesting a pair of Lesley Ann’s knickers – the moral intent of which was lost on Ann, who would go to her grave shouting out that Hindley should also go to hers without ever knowing a free day."
(Ann mentioned above is Ann West).
