Summary

The intimate portrayal of one of the most famous men in music, more than half of which is in McCartney’s own words

For over thirty-five years, noted music writer Paul Du Noyer had unprecedented access to Paul McCartney and has spent more hours in formal, recorded conversation with McCartney than any other writer. Conversations with McCartney is the result of Du Noyer’s long association with McCartney and his music. In the most comprehensive firsthand account of McCartney ever published, Du Noyer presents an honest, humorous, and unique perspective of the former Beatle: “Until Paul McCartney writes his own memoir . . . Paul Du Noyer has set the bar and you won’t need any other volume on your shelf” (London Weekly News).

Coupling McCartney’s candid thoughts with Du Noyer’s observations and analysis, Conversations with McCartney is beautifully written—the sensitive, shrewd depiction of one of the most accomplished artists of our time.
