John And Paul
'The first new Beatles story in decades - and the one that will make your heart burst.' CAITLIN MORAN'The most moving and revelatory book on Lennon and McCartney I have ever read. So joyful, so sad.' TOM HOLLAND'One of the most insightful books I've ever read on creativity, genius, and collaboration.' JAMES SHAPIROA majestic biography of two young geniuses who merged their talents to create one of the greatest bodies of music in history.John & Paul begins in 1957, when two teenagers in suburban Liverpool meet and decide to play rock n'roll together. It ends twenty-three years later, when one of them is murdered. In between, we see them become global stars, create countless indelible songs, and play a central role in shaping the modern world.Lennon and McCartney were more than friends, rivals or collaborators. They were intimates who both had the fabric of their world ruptured at a young age, and who longed to make emotional connections; with each other, and with audiences. The pop song was a vessel into which they poured feelings of grief and euphoria and everything in between. When they couldn't speak what they felt, they sang it. After the break-up of their group, they maintained a musical dialogue at a distance, in songs full of recrimination, regret, and affection.Ian Leslie traces the twists and turns of their relationship through the music it produced and offers rich insights into the nature of creativity, collaboration and human connection. Drawing on recently released footage and recordings, this is a startlingly fresh take on two of the greatest icons in music history.Leslie's majestic and wildly enjoyable biography will make us see and hear Lennon and McCartney anew.
John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs
Instant New York Times bestseller * A New York Times Notable Book of 2025 * Named a Best Book of 2025 by NPR, Kirkus Reviews, The Economist, and The Financial Times '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
