Back in print for the first time in nearly thirty years, here is Yoko Ono's whimsical, delightful, subversive, startling book of instructions for art and for life.

"Burn this book after you've read it." — Yoko

"A dream you dream alone may be a dream, but a dream two people dream together is a reality."

"This is the greatest book I've ever burned." — John

Synopsis:

Originally published in 1970, "Grapefruit" remains one of the icons of a generation, with a mixture of poetic verse, drawings, mock questionnaires, and more. Line drawings.

I bought this book a couple of years ago, much to the discontent to my boyfriend. Of course he had the idea most people have about Yoko Ono, but without reading and understanding her intricate writings and emotive drawings, most opinions are completely unfounded. Yoko Ono's drawings and writings are an important part of feminist culture, music history and generally, just interesting to look at.
This book is timeless, and I have it sitting on my mantle. People that come over always pick it up, and seem to say the same thing every time..."I had no idea she was actually an artist, or that she could write."
Yoko Ono is definitely much more than that sentence...
