David Foenkinos draws an intimate and original portrait of John Lennon, musical icon of the 20th century, imagining what he might have said during a series of fictive psychoanalytic sessions and concentrating on a little-known period of his life.
After a rough childhood and a precocious plunge into enormous celebrity, the decisive encounter with Yoko Ono and the years of drug-fogged aimlessness, John Lennon decided to interrupt his career in 1975, at 35, to take care of his son, Sean. For five years, in New York, he did not produce an album and shied away from a media-dominated existence, finding pleasure in the simple things. It was during this period that he took the time to reflect upon the madness of his life until then. The result is an imagined series of psychoanalytic sessions, between September 21, 1975, and December 7, 1980, the eve of his assassination by a mentally disturbed young man. In the form of an extended monologue, David Foenkinos takes the universal symbol represented by a lead artist of the Beatles and offers the reader an intimate portrait of the man. Much more than a biography, this book is above all the work of an accomplished writer.
