My guest today is best known in Beatles world for having
published Nowhere Man (originally in 2000 but since
revised in 2015), a book in part drawn from Rosen’s exclusive
access to John Lennon’s diaries. He is also the author of the
newly-published memoir, Bobby in Naziland, a telling of
his coming of age in Flatbush during the late 50s and early 60s.
Rosen’s work captures the essence of time and place, with an eye
for detail and an ear for the rhythm; true for both of the
aforementioned titles.
Nowhere Man is a fascinating synthesis, based on
interviews and original research as well as a reconstruction of the
Lennon diaries. Rosen fleshes out a unique perspective on who John
was during his last five years, drawn from John’s own privately
expressed words. You won’t want to miss this illuminating
discussion.
