ISBN:Published in 1965 by Rowohlt Verlag, In seiner eigenen Schreibe stands as the premier, official German translation of John Lennon's landmark 1964 literary debut, In His Own Write. Translated with remarkable linguistic creativity by Helmut Kossodo, the text adapts Lennon’s highly volatile, non-linear wordplay, bizarre puns, and surrealist vocabulary into a fluid Germanic framework. The narrative structures are split into a chaotic collection of brief short stories, satirical poems, and experimental prose fragments that openly mock traditional British societal conventions, media narratives, and political pomposity. Deeply embedded with Lennon's signature, dark, and often grotesque line-drawing caricatures, this uniform volume functions as an invaluable historical archive documenting the counterculture wit, artistic versatility, and literary experimentation that defined the height of Beatlemania.
