Skywriting By Word of Mouth - Couverture souple

WITH AN AFTERWORD BY YOKO ONO

'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

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, the manuscript was stolen from the Lennon's home. And yet Skywriting was finally published in 1986, a tribute to Lennon's extraordinary creativity, imagination 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.
