À propos de cette écoute
‘Gentle, empathetic, committed to righting undeniable wrongs’ Sunday Times, Book of the Week
'Illuminating and affectionate… an intimate and perceptive portrait' Publishers Weekly
An intimate and revelatory biography of Yoko Ono from bestselling author of Beautiful Boy
David Sheff met Yoko Ono and John Lennon in 1980 when conducting an in-depth interview with them just months before John’s murder. In the aftermath, Sheff and Yoko became close friends as she rebuilt her life, survived threats and continued creating groundbreaking art and music. Drawing from their decades-long friendship and interviews with Yoko, her family, close friends and collaborators, Sheff shares the story of one of the most unlikely and remarkable lives ever lived.
Yoko spans from her birth to wealthy parents in pre-war Tokyo and her harrowing experience as a child during WW2 to her arrival in the avant-garde art scenes of London, Tokyo and New York. We see how she coped under the most intense, relentless and cynical microscope as she was falsely vilified for the most heinous cultural crime imaginable: breaking up the greatest rock-and-roll band in history.
So often remembered only for her impact on The Beatles, Yoko has been caricatured as an opportunistic seductress or manipulative impostor. Yoko delves into her life as an artist, musician, feminist and activist, reframing her incredible achievements independent of Lennon.
Yoko is a harrowing, moving, propulsive and vastly entertaining biography of a woman whose story has never been accurately told. It highlights Ono’s incredible talent and acknowledges her as a true artistic icon.©2025 David Sheff (P)2025 Simon & Schuster UK

Commentaires
'David Sheff convincingly accounts for the importance of Yoko's life and career, depicting a complex personality with grace and precision' (Roger Lewis)
'Few public figures have been as maligned and misunderstood as Yoko Ono, an artist most famous for being the wife and creative partner of John Lennon. Sheff offers an expansive portrait of Ono as avant-garde artist, vocalist and peace activist. Sheff interviewed Ono and Lennon in 1980 for Playboy just months before Lennon’s murder. In the aftermath, Sheff and Ono developed a close friendship, which informs this in-depth and compelling biography' (Freda Love Smith)
‘The rehabilitation of Ono as an important and respected artist in her own right was a long time coming. David Sheff’s Yoko: A Biography crowns that process. It studies her life and work in the depth it deserves while authoritatively dismantling falsehoods. You’ll have renewed admiration for this often misunderstood human being’ (Paul Whitelaw)
