On the 20th anniversary of his death, a rare, poignant John Lennon document in print and updated.Lennon's last interview before his assassination on December 8, 1980, was first published in "Playbo"y in a 20,000 word format in November that year. It saw limited distribution in the US in its full form as a 200-page book, reflecting 20 hours of tapes made in September 1980, but was never seen elsewhere, and is now a collector's item. This new, revised edition is published with the rare participation of Yoko Ono, and includes a new interview with her. Here John sums it all up: the Beatles, his former partners, his childhood, the seeds of rebellion and artistry, the creation of his music, the relationship with Yoko Ono, politics, sex, passion, peace. Interwoven with the transcripts of the interview sessions is David Scheff's reportage of their encounters, from recording studios to signing autographs for fans on those fateful Dakota Building steps.

Posledný veľký rozhovor s Johnom Lennonom a Yoko Ono. V čase tohto veľkého rozhovoru mal John Lennon za sebou už svoje najbúrlivejšie obdobie, pokusy o zmier s ostatnými bývalými členmi skupiny Beatles, aj nevšednú rolu „muža v domácnosti“. So svojou povestnou sebaistotou v ňom vyjadruje svoje najzrelšie a najúprimnejšie názory, ktoré aj dnes dokážu ľudí pre svoju inakosť zaujať. Hovorí o bývalých členoch Beatles, o hudbe všeobecne, o konvenciách v spoločnosti, či o svojom postoji k autoritám, politike a náboženstvu. Cez svoje nefalšované reakcie a autorove opisy situácií, v ktorých rozhovor postupne vznikal, tak dostáva čitateľ jedinečný a komplexný pohľad do života Johna Lennona tesne pred jeho smrťou v decembri 1980.
