BEATLEBONE
Book ID/图书代码： 00200015B84544
English Summary/英文概要： It is 1978 and John Lennon, fleeing the demands of public life and a third request to appear on the Muppet Show, heads for the west coast of Ireland in search of answers to life’s most pressing questions. To find his roots. To find himself. What’s the very worst that could happen? Beatlebone is a mystery box of a novel. It’s a wild tale of journeys within and without, through the wild Atlantic coast of Ireland. It’s a search for transcendence. It’s a portrait of an artist at a time of creative strife. It’s a sad and beautiful comedy from one of the most gifted stylists now at work. It’s a fantasia, a tribute, and a trip.

入围爱尔兰图书奖名单
“约翰现在里爱情和家，已咫尺天涯。这是关于他最为奇特旅行故事。”
一本关于家庭、鬼魂、爱情、音乐和对真理的追求的小说，《披头士之骨》追溯了1978年一次穿越爱尔兰西部的狂野之旅。主角是约翰，这位疯狂的天才为名声所累，寻求心中的一片宁静之地。带着他死气沉沉的爱尔兰司机Cornelius，约翰执意要去达多里尼什岛，这是他十年前的计划。
充满了抒情的，发自内心的，异想天开的，风趣的，《披头士之骨》是一部伤感而有唯美的喜剧。(Sandy)
