Après une enfance terrible, une plongée précoce dans l immense célébrité, sa rencontre décisive avec Yoko Ono, des années d errance et de drogue, John Lennon a décidé d interrompre sa carrière en 1975, à l âge de 35 ans, pour s occuper de son fils Sean. Pendant cinq années, à New York, il s est retiré de la vie médiatique et n a pas sorti d album. C est durant cette période qu il a pris le temps de réfléchir à la folie de son parcours. Jusqu à ce que le fil de son existence soit brutalement interrompu, le 8 décembre 1980, jour de son assassinat par un déséquilibré.Imaginant les confessions du créateur des Beatles et s emparant d une période méconnue de sa vie, David Foenkinos dresse un portrait intime et inédit de John Lennon.David Foenkinos est l auteur, entre autres, de La Délicatesse ou du Potentiel érotique de ma femme. Ses romans son traduits dans plus de vingt langues.

David Foenkinos was born in Paris in 1974. A graduate in Literature from the Sorbonne University, he also received solid training as a jazz musician. Among his novels, enthusiastically received by readers and critics worldwide and translated into many languages, stand out The Erotic Potential of My Wife (Roger-Nimier Award 2004), In Case of Happiness (2005), The Memories (2011), I Am Feeling Much Better (2013) and, above all, Delicacy (2009), which won ten awards and was a finalist in the most prestigious literary awards in France, such as the Goncourt, the Renaudot, the Médicis, the Femina, and the Interallié, and which was later made into a film by the author himself and his brother Stéphane. In 2010, Foenkinos, a melomaniac and devoted fan of John Lennon, decided to launch a unique fictional biography, Lennon, with which Alfaguara began publishing his work in 2014. In 2015, he was awarded the Renaudot and Goncourt des lycéens prizes for Charlotte (Alfaguara, 2018), a unique book that rescued the painter Charlotte Salomon from oblivion. Following the success of The Library of Rejected Books (Alfaguara, 2017), adapted into a film, Alfaguara has also published Towards Beauty (2019), Two Sisters (2020), The Martin Family (2021) and, now, Number Two, winner of the Prix Nice Baie des Anges.
