MAXINE PEAKE
A definitive insight into the ever-influential world of Mark E. Smith and the Fall, bringing together previously unseen artwork, rare ephemera and handwritten material, alongside essays by a slate of fans.
This is not a book about a rock band. This is not even a book about Mark E
Smith. This is a book about The Fall group – or more precisely, their world.
Over a prolific forty-year career, the Fall created a world that was influential,
idiosyncratic and fiercely original; it was an education. Who wouldn’t want
to be armed with a working knowledge of M.R. James, contemporary dance
and Manchester City? Bringing together previously unseen artwork, rare ephemera and handwritten
material, alongside essays by a slate of fans, EXCAVATE! is a vivid, definitive
record – an illumination of the dark corners of the Fall’s wonderful and frightening world.
