To be honest, Joy Division wasn't my favourite post-punk band, even allowing I had the self-same t-shirt as Albo was sporting.
But I did have this logo on a sweatshirt.
Wonder how Susssan's (and general bogan) over-reaction would have gone if this had been his wardrobe choice...

At least Onions is only calling it "A History" rather than anything more definitive, as he attempts to remove the black armband, and replace it with a white blindfold.
And foreword by Geoffrey Blainey?
Well, there's another reason to avoid.

I still hesitate and steel myself when approaching a new McEwan - I'm still scarred in my heart and soul over what he did to me with Atonement (IYKYK...), and there's hints extant this takes a twist in its second half.
You better be careful with me, Ian.
