'Should be required reading in art schools' Times Literary Supplement'McLaren finally gets the sensitively balanced biography he deserves' Classic RockMalcolm McLaren was one of the most culturally significant but misunderstood figures of the modern era. A decade after his life was cruelly cut short by cancer, The Life & Times of Malcolm McLaren sheds fascinating new light on the public achievements and private life of this cultural iconoclast and architect of punk, whose championing of street culture movements including hip-hop and Voguing reverberates to this day. With exclusive contributions from friends and intimates and access to private papers and family documents, this biography uncovers the true story behind this complicated figure. With a preface by Alan Moore, who collaborated with McLaren on the unrealised film project Fashion Beast, and an essay by Lou Stoppard casting a twenty-first-century perspective over his achievements, The Life & Times Of Malcolm McLaren is the explosive and definitive account of the man dubbed by Melvyn Bragg 'the Diaghilev of punk'.Paul Gorman is a writer whose work has appeared in many of the world's leading publications. Gorman first met Malcolm McLaren in 1975 and was last in contact with him a few weeks before his death in 2010. 'A magnum opus on the often overlooked and much-maligned maverick . . . a hectic and inspiring tale where the only constant is that of style' Vogue
