"John Lennon was the symbol of his generation's expansive conscience. But the last five years of his life were lived in isolation." "Lennon was haunted by his fame with the Beatles, his jagged past and unfinished business with Paul McCartney, a tumultuous marriage to Yoko Ono, and the burden of being looked up to by so many, when inside he felt confusion and uncertainty.".
"In 1981, five months after John Lennon's murder, New York journalist Robert Rosen was temporarily given the ex-Beatle's diaries. Nowhere Man is based on over two decades of original research, including Rosen's intimate conversations with the key figures of these last days. Nowhere Man is a loving but hard look at Lennon's final years."--BOOK JACKET.
