Description
John Lennon's escape from New York City in 1978 sets him on a journey to find the island he bought nine years prior. Leaving behind his domestic life, approaching forties and memories of his parents, he seeks calm in isolation.
However, when he puts himself in the hands of a shape-shifting driver, his plans take an unexpected turn. This surreal novel weaves together fantasy and reality, Beatles fandom and literary imagination to create a magical mystery tour that is both captivating and unsettling.
A masterful blend of language and storytelling, Beatlebone is a unique and unforgettable reading experience that will appeal to fans of psychological fiction and alternative history.
