On 9 November, the UK’s leading music book imprint White Rabbit will publish Curepedia: An A-Z of The Cure - an encyclopedic biography of The Cure written by one of the UK’s greatest music writers Simon Price with a foreword by Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite and illustrations by Andy Vella - the designer behind The Cure’s iconic visual identity for the past 30 years. Curepedia is the definitive guide to the band’s past and present, painting a comprehensive portrait of the band’s inimitable legacy, politics, image and rich cultural influences from existentialist writers like Albert Camus; Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast series set in a decaying Gothic castle; to the menacing literary, musical and cinematic connotations behind ‘A Forest’ - a definitive, epically long single that has mutated over the years through series of covers.
