Behind this fabled figure, there was a sick and suffering human being. The real John lennon was not his image. In fact, there was no real John Lennon, only an endless succession of masks that he spent his tortured life impulsively donning and doffing. He was, by turn, man, woman and child; moralist and immoralist; idealist and cynic; solipsist and exhibitionist; bully and wimp; sadist and masochist; ascetic and juniie; creative genius and plagiarist; master and slave; murderous criminal and crucified victim. Yet he had the talent and courange to embody his jaggedly fractured personality in unforgettable song. In his definitive biography, the product of six years' worl and 1200 interviews conducted all around the world, the author takes us deep inside John Lennon's carefully guarded world, enabling us to witness intimately every significant episode in a life of labyrinthine complexity. What emerges is a startling and revolutionary portrait.
