An intimate and revelatory biography of Yoko Ono from bestselling
author of Beautiful Boy
David Sheff met Yoko Ono and John Lennon in 1980 when conducting an
in-depth interview with them just months before John’s murder. In the
aftermath, Sheff and Yoko became close friends as she rebuilt her life,
survived threats and continued creating groundbreaking art and music.
Drawing from their decades-long friendship and interviews with Yoko,
her family, close friends and collaborators, Sheff shares the story of
one of the most unlikely and remarkable lives ever lived.
Yoko spans from her birth to wealthy parents in pre-war Tokyo and her
harrowing experience as a child during WW2 to her arrival in the
avant-garde art scenes of London, Tokyo and New York. We see how she
coped under the most intense, relentless and cynical microscope as she
was falsely vilified for the most heinous cultural crime imaginable:
breaking up the greatest rock-and-roll band in history.
So often remembered only for her impact on The Beatles, Yoko has been
caricatured as an opportunistic seductress or manipulative impostor.
Yoko delves into her life as an artist, musician, feminist and
activist, reframing her incredible achievements independent of Lennon.
Yoko is a harrowing, moving, propulsive and vastly entertaining
biography of a woman whose story has never been accurately told. It
highlights Ono’s incredible talent and acknowledges her as a true
artistic icon.
