Prose: non-fiction; Fiction & Literature

Autobiography, excerpts of fantastical fiction and musings on the break-up of the Beatles and the pressures of celebrity. A delight for fans of John Lennon.

WITH AN AFTERWORD BY YOKO ONO AND ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS BY THE AUTHOR

John Lennon wrote the material collected in Skywriting by Word of Mouth during Yoko Ono's pregnancy with Sean Lennon. After John's assassination in 1980, his manuscript was stolen from the Lennon's home. Skywriting was finally published in 1986, and it displays all of Lennon's extraordinary creativity and inventiveness with language. It includes Lennon's only piece of autobiography, 'The Ballad of John and Yoko' as well as short works of fiction, accounts of falling in love, marriage, the break-up of the Beatles and life in America.

Reviews for Skywriting By Word of Mouth

John Lennon is a remarkably gifted writer * Melody Maker * 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 *
