Best known as singer-songwriter for the legendary Beatles, John Lennon was born in Liverpool, England. In 1969, Lennon married Yoko Ono and the two formed the Plastic Ono Band. Lennon was killed by a deranged fan outside his apartment building in New York on December 8, 1980.
"In His Own Write features the same sort of surreal turns of
phrase that insinuated themselves into late-period Beatles classics
such as 'Come Together' and 'Strawberry Fields Forever.'"
--San Francisco Chronicle
"[Features] a wit and love of words that recall[s] Joyce and
fanciful drawings some compare to Thurber."
--Hartford Courant (Connecticut)
"A quirky, funny collection of stories, poems and drawings."
--The New York Times
"Bewitching."
--USA Today
"Fascinating. . . It goes down like pure whimsy and then back-kicks
like a sick mule."
--The Sunday Times
"Lennon's marvelously clever In His Own Write was the
surprise literary sensation of 1964....you get Lennon's biting
humor and brilliant puns: Lewis Carroll as rock star."
--Tampa Tribune
"Lunatic humor. . . Zany, offbeat, and illustrated by his grotesque
and spidery pen. It jolts the reader into gusts of laughter."
--The Guardian
"Worth the attention of anyone who fears for the impoverishment of
the English language and the British imagination."
--The Times Literary Supplement
