National Bestseller
Drawing on previously unknown sources, unpublished letters, and unprecedented access to all the key figures, author and journalist Philip Norman gives us the most complete and revealing portrait of John Lennon that is ever likely to be published.
For this masterpiece of biography, Philip Norman set himself the challenge of looking afresh at every aspect of Lennonâs much-chronicled life. He has not just dug deep into the archives, including his own vast collection of tapes and notebooks dating back to the 60s, but spoken to hundreds of witnesses, from every walk of life and every stage of Lennonâs. The interviewees include Sean Lennon, whose moving reminiscences reveal his father as never before, and Yoko Ono, who speaks with sometimes shocking candour about her marriage to John.
In his brilliant Shout!, we were shown a band; in John Lennon, Philip Norman gives us a portrait of a man. It reconciles as never before the contradictions of this endlessly fascinating characterâthe volatile and violent hippie, the phenomenally wealthy advocate of no possessions, the family man and junkieâand his journey from Liverpool suburbia to becoming one of the presiding geniuses of pop culture.
