This is the only in-depth biographical account of the legendary lead singer of Joy Division, written by his widow. Revered by his peers and idolised by his fans, Ian Curtis left behind a legacy rich in artistic genius. But although mesmerising on stage, in his private life he was introverted and had desperate mood swings. 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 gig list.

 A Must read for any music fan

This book really shows you the 'behind the scenes' story of the legend that is Ian Curtis. Deborah tells her story well and to the point, for any Joy Division fan this book is a must read. I am re-buying the book as i lost my original copy... Although the film CONTROL is good and informative, this book is helps see how it was for Ian, the band and Deborah.
