About this title

From the Author

There has been much written in the press about the fact that in 1981, under controversial circumstances, I transcribed John Lennon's private diaries. Now, 20 years later, what is being described as my "poignant" and "controversial" book, "Nowhere Man: The Final Days of John Lennon," has finally been published to worldwide acclaim. According to the October 2000 issue of "Mojo," it's the #1 rock 'n' roll book in the UK. For this I am grateful.

What I tried to do in "Nowhere Man" is get inside Lennon's head unlike any book ever has. I did this by using my knowledge of his diaries as a road map to the truth. In other words, I tried to tell the truth as John saw it. It was my intention to paint the most honest and emotionally accurate three-dimensional portrait of John Lennon as a human being that I was capable of doing. He comes off as neither a rock 'n' roll saint, as some biographies would have you believe, nor a degenerate murderer who could barely play the guitar, as others suggest. Lennon was a flawed and complicated man. Ultimately, he was The Great Searcher, a man who looked everywhere for The Answer but never found it. By the time you're finished reading "Nowhere Man," you will know how it feels to have been John Lennon, and that is a devastating yet sublime experience.

Synopsis
