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.","brand":"David Sheff","offers":[{"title":"384 pages, 1x16pp mono plates \/ 10\/09\/2026 \/ Biography: arts \u0026 entertainment","offer_id":57415374963063,"sku":"9781398517554","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781398517554.jpg?v=1787881214","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781398517554","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
