Non-fiction: George Berger on Malcolm McLaren:
Malcolm was far too opinionated and mischievous to have been liked by everyone, but I’m sure you’ll read reams about that elsewhere. Personally, at a distance, he inspired me to be far braver than I would have otherwise been in my youth or indeed my life — his courage to stand outside convention was an inspiration up there with Rotten. Between them, they may well have saved my life.
His contribution to the achievements of those times is almost guaranteed to be understated. But Malcolm McLaren really did change the world. In these times of ever more suffocating homogeneity, where maverick behaviour and thoughts cause increasing social ostracization, and stepping out of line is increasingly difficult and frowned upon, Malcolm McLaren was an inspiration.
