Summary:
"An intimate yet unsparing biography of one of the greatest and most mythologised musicians of the twentieth century.
John
Lennon
was a rock star, a school clown, a writer, a wit, an iconoclast, a sometime peace activist and finally an eccentric millionaire. He was also a Beatle - his plain-speaking and impudent rejection of authority catching, and eloquently articulating, the group's moment in history. Chronicling a troubled
life
, from that of the cast-aside child of a broken wartime marriage to his murder by a deranged fan, '
Being
John
Lennon
' analyses the contradictions in the singer-songwriter's creative and destructive personality. A leader who could be easily led, he was often generous and often funny, but sometimes scathingly cruel. As a journalist, author Ray Connolly had a close working relationship with
Lennon
, and the entire Beatles coterie. In this biography he unsparingly reassesses the chameleon nature of the perpetually dissatisfied star who just couldn't stop reinventing himself. Drawing on many interviews and conversations with
Lennon
, his first wife Cynthia and second Yoko Ono, as well as his girlfriend May Pang and song-writing partner Paul McCartney, this complex portrait is a revealing insight into a
restless
man whose emotional turbulence governed his
life
and talent."--From publisher.
