Reviews / Votes
Fans of the Beatles who can't get enough in the way of biographical coverages won't want to miss WE ALL WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD: THE LIFE OF JOHN LENNON. Lennon explored his personality through his music from childhood on, using drugs, meditation and psychotherapy for further insights. This biography is published to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his death and discusses his Irish roots for the first time, packing vintage black and white and color photos into a survey of the music and the man. From influences of promoters and fellow musicians to works created in collaboration, WE ALL WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD is a fine, lively survey hard to put down - highly recommended. -- Midwest Book ReviewMore details

Person
John Wyse Jackson was born, raised and educated in Ireland. He came to London in 1982 to work for John Sandoe's famous Chelsea bookshop. He described it as his 'fault that the bookshop stocks a surprising range of books on James Joyce and on other subjects relating to Ireland and the Irish'. In 2004 he returned to Ireland to pursue his writing career and to add to the already impressive list of publications including James Joyce's Dubliners: An Illustrated Edition With Annotations and John Stanislaus Joyce: The Voluminous Life And Genius Of James Joyce's Father.
