Dissecting
Author : Gavin Braddeley
Dissecting Marily Manson delves into perv-rock, bad drugs, and surgical supports, or the life and times of America’s premier shock-rocker. This unconventional biography of arguably the baddest boy in rock explores themes of androgyny, sex, S/M, drugs, devil worship, childhood fears, and selling out. This updated edition includes analysis of Manson’s recent activities, such as his new album The Golden Age of Grotesque and his contribution to soundtracks such as Queen of the Damned, along with new details on his personal life, from recent legal actions against him to his relationship with fetish model Dita Von Teese.

I have read more than my fair share of interviews and editorials on this artist; it is a must for anyone tired of them, hungary for more, or simply curious. Essentially devoid of meaningless non-commital banter, the author manages to address nearly every subject parralel and adjacent to the band's life and leader. It was such an intriguing read that I still think about it whenever any aspect of the artist comes up in daily life. In fact, for the purpose of journalistic study, I try to make time to read over it again.
