( Written by one of the few people outside John Lennon's ...)
Written by one of the few people outside John Lennon's inner circle to have read his personal diaries, Nowhere Man reveals an emotional truth about the ex-Beatle that can't be found in any of the approximately 400 other Lennon biographies currently in print. Fifteen years after its publication, the book is an acknowledged cult classic in the U.S. and U.K. It has been translated into six languages, and the Spanish Web magazine iLeon has chosen it as one of the "10 essential music biographies of all time." The "official" version of Lennon's five-year tenure as househusband was one of domestic bliss. In reality, his daily life at the Dakota drifted between contradictory desires and minor obsessions--all magnified by the tedium of isolation. Nowhere Man is an intimate journey through Lennon's last years, carrying us from his self-imposed seclusion to his re-entry into public life with the making of Double Fantasy. Each chapter offers a glimpse into a different aspect of Lennon's life, including his relationship with Yoko Ono, parenthood, drug use, and his pseudoscientific, esoteric, and religious forays. The portrait that emerges is a life during a time of turmoil that is just reaching creative renewal, only to be cut short by an act of delusional violence. Nowhere Man reveals a very human side of a beloved cultural icon, giving the reader a compelling account of John's solitary struggle to create a meaningful life in the glaring spotlight of fame. Robert Rosen does not let us go until we've faced the abrupt and tragic fate of one of the most creative minds of our time. The addition of photos throughout the book places the reader in Lennon's environs, adding a strong visual dimension.

(A disturbed and disturbing book with shock waves building...)
A disturbed and disturbing book with shock waves building from the 1939 battle of Grodno, Poland, through Russian concentration camps, an escape crossing the borders of Rumania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Switzerland, to psychiatric hospitals in England and Scotland, eventually to sleazy Manhattan hotels and ultimately to other U.S. cities unnamed. Komorowski is a former Polish soldier on the run -- earlier possibly from the Free Polish Army in exile in London and certainly, so he thinks, now from the NKVD. He is, he claims, the only eyewitness to the appalling massacre at Katyn Forest where 4500 Polish officers were slaughtered in the spring of 1940. It matters not that in 1952 a U.S. fact-finding commission charged the Russians with the crime, that there's no longer any question of responsibility -- Komorowski continues to hide, changing aliases to stave off the expectant midnight knock on his door. A tragic trauma of war -- but will this feeding of the paranoia expiate it
