Book description
The disappearance of Richey Edwards, troubled guitarist with the Manic
Street Preachers, is one of rock and roll's great unresolved mysteries.
His Vauxhall Cavalier was found abandoned in a service station car park
near the Severn Bridge, a notorious suicide spot, in February 1995, a
fortnight after Edwards had last been seen. The location of the car and
the tape left in the deck - Nirvana's album In Utero - tended to point
to one conclusion. However, it almost seemed too obvious a statement,
and in A VERSION OF REASON, Rob Jovanovic unravels the complicated life
and final days of Richey Edwards. Piecing together testimony from those
close to Edwards Jovanovic seeks to produce an authoritative account of
the life and times of Richey Edwards. Jovanovic has written about
music for numerous magazines, including Mojo, Q, Level, Record Collector
and Uncut, and many other publications such as The Guinness Rockopedia
and The Rare Record Price Guide. He is a full-time writer and is based
in Nottingham. Visit his website at www. jovanovic. co. uk.
