The John Lennon Letters by John Lennon

The John Lennon Letters by John Lennon

In its revelation of the man's psychology, THE JOHN LENON LETERS far surpasses all previous accounts by wives, lovers, half-siblings, ex-aides, and even the best biographers. -- The Washington Post John Lennon was one of the greatest songwriters the world has ever known, creator of Help , Come Together, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Strawberry Fields Forever, Imagine, and dozens more. But it was in his correspondence that he let his personality and poetry flow unguarded. Gathered in this handsome volume are John Lennon's letters to family, friends, strangers, and lovers from every point in his life. Funny, informative, wise, poetic, and sometimes heartbreaking, these letters reveal a hidden side of the private genius. This collection of nearly 300 letters and postcards has been edited and annotated by Hunter Davies, whose authorized biography The Beatles (McGraw-Hill, 1968) was published to great acclaim. With unparalleled knowledge of Lennon and his contemporaries, Davies reads between the lines of the artist's words, contextualizing them and using them to reveal the man himself.
