Review

"Bewitching." --"USA Today" "Fascinating. . . It goes down like pure whimsy and then back-kicks like a sick mule." --"The Sunday Times" "Worth the attention of anyone who fears for the impoverishment of the English language and the British imagination." --"The Times Literary Supplement" "A quirky, funny collection of stories, poems and drawings." --"The New York Times" "Lunatic humor. . . Zany, offbeat, and illustrated by his grotesque and spidery pen. It jolts the reader into gusts of laughter." --"The Guardian" "[Features] a wit and love of words that recall[s] Joyce and fanciful drawings some compare to Thurber." --"Hartford Courant" (Connecticut) ""In His Own Write" features the same sort of surreal turns of phrase that insinuated themselves into late-period Beatles classics such as 'Come Together' and 'Strawberry Fields Forever.'" --"San Francisco Chronicle" "Lennon's marvelously clever "In His Own Write" was the surprise literary sensation of 1964....you get Lennon's biting humor and brilliant puns: Lewis Carroll as rock star." --"Tampa Tribune"
