A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

 

The definitive new biography of the most enigmatic Beatle 
 

As a Beatle, Harrison underwent a bewilderingly compressed early adulthood, buffeted by unprecedented levels of fame and success. The notoriously shy performer mostly ceded the spotlight to his more flamboyant bandmates John, Paul, and Ringo, but after the band’s breakup, Harrison charted a new path all his own. In this elegant, in-depth biography, renowned music journalist Graeme Thomson tracks Harrison assiduously through his many changes and conflicts, from schoolboy guitarist to global superstar, God-seeker to independent filmmaker, and marks the perennial struggle of a man attempting to walk a spiritual path lined with temptation. 

Drawing on scores of new interviews with close friends and collaborators, rigorous research and critical insight, George Harrison: Behind The Locked Door is a fascinating account of the motives and varied achievements of an often misunderstood man. 

Revue de presse

"Thomson is especially compelling in his illumination of Harrison’s inner life, his robust spirituality, and his deep love of Indian culture. A must for all Beatles collections and for fans of the quiet man himself." —Booklist (Starred Review)

"Boring is one characteristic George Harrison can certainly never be accused of. Neither can it be said of Thomson's magisterial biography." —Chicago Tribune

"Do we need another book on the Beatles? In this case, definitely." —The San Francisco Chronicle

Praise for the Work of Graeme Thomson:

“Better musical surveys are hard to find, and the results are positively life-affirming.” —Paste 

 

“That rarest of rock & roll studies: expertly researched, restrained yet stylish, and in perfect tune with its subject’s work.” —Austin Chronicle
