We All Shine On : John, Yoko, and Me

The personal, intimate and, at times, heart-breaking memoir exploring an extraordinary friendship with John Lennon and Yoko Ono and their life after The Beatles. 'It’s hard to define the relationship Elliot had with our family. But I ultimately think the best word to describe him is: friend. Perhaps our closest friend.' Sean Ono LennonFrom the moment he interviewed Yoko Ono on his late-night radio show in September 1971, Elliot Mintz’s life would never the same again. That phone call would lead to an intense and revealing friendship with Yoko and her husband, John Lennon, and a bond that would last a lifetime. From the breakup of The Beatles to the birth of John and Yoko’s son Sean, to John’s death and beyond, Elliot was there through it all, either to witness it or as a friendly voice at the end of the phone. Now, for the first time, Elliot recounts the story of their incredible friendship in this honest and intimate memoir authorised by the family, bringing the lives of two cultural icons to life like never before. ______'Credible, candid, detailed and well-written' Mojo'A fascinating ringside seat into the psychodrama of the most compelling celebrity couple of the 1970s' Observer'A new layer of Lennon understanding' i'Captivating and intimate' Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)'A charmingly modest tale of a long brush with stardom' Kirkus
