このコンテンツについて
"We think we know everything, but author Ian Leslie proves otherwise. His new book, 'John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs,' is, astonishingly, one of the few to offer a detailed narrative of John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s partnership. And it’s a revelation."―Los Angeles Times
"It is stunning to follow Leslie’s insights into how far and fast John and Paul traveled, how profound their preternatural alliance was, and how epic their heroic journey. I’m sorry John isn’t here to read this book. I hope if Paul does read it he feels the depth of appreciation and gratitude and intelligence it contains."―The New York Times
John Lennon and Paul McCartney knew each other for twenty-three years, from 1957 to 1980. This book is the myth-shattering biography of a relationship that changed the cultural history of the world.
The Beatles shook the world to its core in the 1960’s and, to this day, new generations continue to fall in love with their songs and their story. At the heart of this phenomenon lies the dynamic between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Few other musical partnerships have been rooted in such a deep, intense and complicated personal relationship.
John and Paul’s relationship was defined by its complexity: compulsive, tender and tempestuous; full of longing, riven by jealousy. Like the band, their relationship was always in motion, never in equilibrium for long. John & Paul traces its twists and turns and reveals how these shifts manifested themselves in the music. The two of them shared a private language, rooted in the stories, comedy and songs they both loved as teenagers, and later, in the lyrics of Beatles songs.
In John & Paul, acclaimed writer Ian Leslie uses the songs they wrote to trace the shared journey of these two compelling men before, during, and after The Beatles. Drawing on recently released footage and recordings, Leslie offers us an intimate and insightful new look at two of the greatest icons in music history, and rich insights into the nature of creativity, collaboration, and human intimacy.

"An enthralling narrative of friendship, creative genius and loss...Leslie scores highest in his penetrating analysis of the differences that drove their alchemy...I had up to now considered the gold standard of Beatles books to be Ian MacDonald's formative Revolution in the Head. John & Paul is its equal in passionate engagement with the songs and possibly its superior in originality."―Anthony Quinn, Observer
"Revelatory...If you think you know all you need to know about Lennon and McCartney, this analytically sharp, vaultingly written book will make you see and hear things you've missed...Leslie's a brilliant writer, by turns poetically exuberant and musically analytical...A wonderful reanimation of their power and joy."―Simon Schama, Financial Times
"Leslie’s other work... focuses on human nature, which is what gives John & Paul the tender, human element that goes beyond the raw talent of Lennon and McCartney."—Rolling Stone
