"Graffiti is by nature a protean art. In movies, it is often the backdrop used to create a sense of danger and lawlessness. In bathroom stalls, it is the disembodied expression of gossip, lewdness, or confession. In protests, it is a resistive tool, visually displaying the cacophony of disparate voices and interests that come together to make up a movement. Every graffito has an unstable afterlife-fated to be added to, transformed, overlaid, photographed, reinterpreted, or painted over. In short, as this book artfully explains, graffiti makes for messy politics. It brings the unwieldiness of the crises it engages to the fore, giving shape to a conflict''s evolving nature. The book closely examines the many permutations of graffiti in conflict zones-moving from the protest graffiti of the Black Lives Matter movement in Ferguson and the Arab Spring in Egypt to the tourist attraction murals on the Israeli Separation Wall, to the street art used for city rebranding and beautification in Detroit and post-Katrina New Orleans. Graffiti has played a crucial role in the revolutionary movements of these locales, but has also been variously appropriated, policed, and exported, ushering in postconflict consumerism, gentrification, militarization, and anaesthetized forgetting. Yet, the book concludes, as protest movements change and adapt in turn, graffiti is also uniquely suited to shapeshift with them, opening up new apertures of resistance with every wave"--

The electric spearhead of The Beatles meteoric rise; one half of the most creative and powerful songwriting partnerships ever; figurehead of peace and an icon of generations: John Lennon’s adventure through life is an immortalised legend. Lennon on Lennon is Jeff Burger’s dazzling digest of John Lennon’s views on the world around him. Sharp, insightful, contrary, witty, opinionated or downright aggressive, these illuminating interviews and quotations open a window into the musician and the man, and the volatile culture in which he lived, and died. Most of this material has never been available in print; some has remained entirely hidden until now. Jeff Burger’s meticulously researched book offers a truly unique and captivating glimpse into the mind and philosophy of one of the world’s most complex and inspiring talents.

The hobo is a figure ensconced in the cultural fabric of the United States. Once categorized as a member of a homeless army who ought to be jailed or killed, the hobo has evolved into a safe, grandfatherly exemplar of Americana. Boxcar Politics reestablishes the hobo''s political thorns. John Lennon maps the rise and demise of the political hobo from the nineteenth-century introduction of the transcontinental railroad to the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956. Intertwining literary, historical, and theoretical representations of the hobo, he explores how riders and writers imagined alternative ways that working-class people could use mobility to create powerful dissenting voices outside of fixed hierarchal political organizations. Placing portrayals of hobos in the works of Jack London, Jim Tully, John Dos Passos, and Jack Kerouac alongside the lived reality of people hopping trains (including hobos of the IWW, the Scottsboro Boys, and those found in numerous long-forgotten memoirs), Lennon investigates how these marginalized individuals exerted collective political voices through subcultural practices.

A lifetime of letters, collected for the first time, from the legendary musician and songwriter. John Lennon was one of the greatest songwriters the world has ever known, creator of "Help!", "Come Together", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Imagine", and dozens more. But it was in his correspondences that he let his personality and poetry flow unguarded. Now, gathered for the first time in book form, are his letters to family, friends, strangers, and lovers from every point in his life. Funny, informative, wise, poetic, and sometimes heartbreaking, his letters illuminate a never-before-seen intimate side of the private genius. This groundbreaking collection of almost 300 letters and postcards has been edited and annotated by Hunter Davies, whose authorized biography The Beatles (1968) was published to great acclaim. With unparalleled knowledge of Lennon and his contemporaries, Davies reads between the lines of the artist''s words, contextualizing them in Lennon''s life and using them to reveal the man himself.

WITH AN AFTERWORD BY YOKO ONO AND ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS BY THE AUTHOR John Lennon wrote the material collected in Skywriting by Word of Mouth during Yoko Ono''s pregnancy with Sean Lennon. After John''s assassination in 1980, his manuscript was stolen from the Lennon''s home. Skywriting was finally published in 1986, and it displays all of Lennon''s extraordinary creativity and inventiveness with language. It includes Lennon''s only piece of autobiography, ''The Ballad of John and Yoko'' as well as short works of fiction, accounts of falling in love, marriage, the break-up of the Beatles and life in America.

REAL LOVE

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY First published in 1964 and 1965, In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works are a brilliantly inventive and offbeat collection of John Lennon''s stories, drawings and poems.

Son talent pour les mots a toujours contribué au charme des Beatles. Et il ne s''est pas manifesté uniquement en chansons, car John Lennon a publié deux livres, dont le premier, En flagrant délire, est paru en 1964. Depuis son enfance, à Liverpool, Lennon a toujours eu la manie de griffonner-des poèmes, des saynètes, des parodies. Quand, en pleine beatlemania, un éditeur lui propose de réunir ses écrits en un volume, il se met à rédiger et dessiner comme il ne l''avait pas fait depuis l''Art College pour proposer au total trente et un textes illustrés. Pastiches d''auteurs célèbres (de Stevenson à Enid Blyton), fantaisies pleines de nonsense, jeux de mots et autres explorations linguistiques inspirées des pratiques surréalistes... Le résultat est un exemple très personnel de virtuosité littéraire dans lequel s''incarne l''humour de Lennon, parfois noir et grinçant, parfois léger, toujours décalé. À sa parution, le livre remporte un triomphe critique et public, asseyant définitivement le jeune auteur dans sa position de Beatle intellectuel. Tom Wolfe, notamment, n''hésitera pas à le qualifier de " génie sauvage".

It is fascinating of course to climb inside a Beatle''s head to see what''s going on there, but what counts is that what''s going on there is really fascinating.--London Sunday Times 30 two-color line drawings.

About The Awful I was bored on the 9th of Octover 1940 when, I believe, the Nasties were still booming us led by Madolf Heatlump (who only had one). Anyway they didn''t get me. I attended to varicous schools in Liddypol. And still didn''t pass -- much to my Aunties supplies. As a member of the most publified Beatles my (P, G, and R''s) records might seem funnier to some of you than this book, but as far as I''m conceived this correction of short writty is the most wonderfoul larf I''ve every ready. God help and breed you all.
