Synopsis
As seen on Sky Arts' Playhouse Presents: Imagine there's no Lennon... In the reality-altering novella "Snodgrass," John Lennon sidesteps his musical destiny and instead becomes a civil servant
After spending his adolescence like so many others had, playing in a band with friends, John Lennon knows it's time to grow up. Skipping out on the Beatles before they would go on to become one of the greatest rock groups of the twentieth century, John moves to Birmingham. As he watches the exploits of friends Paul, Ringo, and George, John grows older and lives an ordinary life... and he is left wondering "what if?"
With "Snodgrass" as its anchor, this collection of eleven stories also includes "The Chop Girl," inspired by the infamous Dresden bombing raids; "Past Magic," a futuristic account of parents cloning their children who have passed away; "New Light on the Drake Equation," inspired by a man's journey as he searches for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence; and seven more tales that showcase MacLeod's breadth as a writer.
