<DIV>Shortly after John Lennon&#8217;s murder in 1980, Robert Rosen was given access to Lennon&#8217;s personal journals chronicling the reclusive last five years of his life. Haunted by the journals, Rosen interviewed key figures from Lennon&#8217;s final years, visited the important locations from his life story, and pieced together the historical record to interpret his personal reflections from the Dakota years. The portrait that emerges is a life in turmoil, as Lennon vacillates between fame and reclusiveness, indulgence and asceticism. Each chapter offers a glimpse into different aspects of Lennon&#8217;s life, including parenthood, drug use, his relationship with Yoko Ono, and esoteric and religious explorations. &#8220;Entertainingly salacious.&#8221; &#8212; Booklist &#8220;Nowhere Man is a gripping read that no Lennon fan will be able to resist.&#8221; &#8212; The Times (London)</div>
