Robert Smith: The Cure and Wishful Thinking
by Richard Carman

The very first in-depth biography on The Cure explores nearly thirty years of one of rock's most enduring and influential bands. Throughout a career filled with paradox and evolution, endless personnel changes, and side-projects including stints with Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Glove, iconic frontman Robert Smith has kept awake and alive to changes in the music scene around The Cure. This full-length, extensively researched biography of the band, and of Smith - one of rock's most enduring figures - is the most up-to-date telling of a never-ending story; it also analyses in depth the 'goth' subculture and its relationship with The Cure.
