Written in its author’s much-imitated, never-duplicated voice, populated with his own illustrations, full of the wit and honesty that helped make him one of the most iconic, polarizing figures of the 20th Century, Skywriting by Word of Mouth is the lost and recovered, posthumously published autobiography of John Lennon.

Pressestimmen

“John wrote Skywriting at a time when the world was wondering whatever happened to him. Why wasn’t he writing songs anymore? Well, this is what he was busy doing… I’m glad that I can now share these writings with you. I’m sure John would be, too.” — Yoko Ono (from the afterword)

“Had he never sung a note, John Lennon still might have made his mark - as a successor to Lewis Carroll, James Joyce, and other brilliantly playful molders and expanders of the English language.” — Los Angeles Times

“Candid and scathing...A reflection of its author’s creativity and enduring appeal.” — People

“Skywriting is a thrill… Lennon at his best.” — San Jose Mercury News

“It is no wonder John Lennon’s fans grow more in love with him as time goes by...His great influence on popular music makes him impossible to forget, so does this book.” — Houston Chronicle

“Marvelous, delightful reading and for John Lennon fans a must.” — Publishers Weekly

Buchrückseite

John Lennon wrote Skywriting by Word of Mouth, an impressive collection of writings and drawings, during Yoko Ono's pregnancy with Sean, and always planned to have it published. The book's publication was a wish that seemed to end with Lennon's assassination in 1980 and the theft of the manuscript from the Lennons' home in 1982. When it was recovered and first published in 1986, Skywriting received immediate critical and popular acclaim. Filled with Lennon's extraordinary creative powers and lavishly illustrated with his own drawings, the collection reveals his fertile creative spirit up close and in full force. Included in Skywriting are "Two Virgins," written when the public learned that John and Yoko were living together as husband and wife, and John's only autobiography, "The Ballad of John and Yoko." In addition there are notes on his falling in love with Yoko, the breakup of the Beatles, his persecution by U.S. authorities, and his withdrawal from public life. This is a book with John Lennon's spirit on every page—a spirit the world needs to remember.

His work has appeared in various edited volumes and journals including Cultural Studies Review, New Proposals: Journal of Marxism and Interdisciplinary Inquiry, American Studies, Rhizomes, and Acoma. He is currently at work on a new book length project examining conflict graffiti from a global perspective.

A book full of "Walrus" and "Lucy"-like Lennon-isms.

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 25. November 1998

Anyone who enjoys Edward Lear will love Lennon's book of nonsense. He masterfully crafts the English language to suit his desires and needs, giving the reader a non-sensical trip into his before-his-time mind. Filled with classic Lennon-isms, Skywriting is a must for any fan of John's. There is something new to be seen every time you pick it up!

John Lennon sincero, honrado, crítico y autocrítico

Rezension aus Spanien vom 23. Juni 2018

Verifizierter Kauf

John Lennon se sincera y nos descubre por qué dejó a The Beatles (el fundó la banda y él la disolvió) aunque Paul McCartney tuvo mucho que ver.El ambiente era irrespirable. Por otra parte se enamoró intensamente de Yoko Ono y la acomodada sociedad británica no toleró que su héroe se uniera con una japonesa. Prácticamente le obligaron a dejar Gran Bretaña. Luego sus campañas por la paz, su época "revolucionaria" en New York, su lucha por la Green Card y el nacimiento de su hijo Sea, .etc.
En fin, un gran libro.
Mi recomendación sólo puede ser para los fans de Lennon (para entender muchas de las cosas) y para los que tengan interés en conocer a uno de los genios del siglo XX y una de las personas más influyentes.

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 24. November 2015

Verifizierter Kauf

One of my favorite's. It's so nice to see some of John's quick wit in his own writing as opposed to all of the biographies telling or re-telling. Also nice to get to know some more of John's light-hearted side. Post-Beatles John is often depicted more seriously as a political/social activist and he is certainly deservedly admired as such; yet, this books shows how youthful and whimsical he could be. I have read it a few times cover to cover and actually am re-buying after my old beloved copy was appropriated by one of my dear college roommates. I hope he is still enjoying it as I will continue to enjoy my new copy.
