For Sale: John Lennon. In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works. NYC, NY, The New American Library, 1967.

Description

John Lennon wrote and published two books during his time with the Beatles; In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works are essentially collections of surreal, humorous, prose and poetry.

In His Own Write, published in ’64, features surreal, absurdist short stories and wordplay-filled poems. It showcases Lennon’s wit and literary creativity, offering a glimpse into his unique sense of humor beyond his musical persona.

A Spaniard in the Works, Lennon’s second book, published a year later, features more of the same — nonsense poetry and prose as well as surreal, playful wordplay, absurdist humor, and deliberately misspelled text…all of which showcased Lennon’s wit and creativity away from McCartney and The Beatles.

One more thing. Weren’t they all “writing” Beatles?

My fav has always been George.

Yours?
