THE LIZARD KING Jerry Hopkins Revised and Updated Jim
Morrison, lead singer of the Doors, has achieved a bizarre cult status
since his death in 1971. In The
Lizard King: The Essential Jim Morrison, Jerry Hopkins provides a
new insight into Morrison’s life, peeling away the myth to reveal the
intelligent, witty but flawed character beneath. He has also collected
an illuminating series of interviews made with Morrison during his
lifetime, which, published uncut, allow the man to speak for himself at
last. Thirty years on it is time to re-examine Morrison’s enduring
influence on youth culture, and to evaluate his standing as poet,
philosopher, filmmaker and sex symbol. 304 pages / 80 photos / 230 x 150mm ISBN 0 85965 361 7 ISBN13 978 0 85965 361 9 Paperback / UK £14.99 / US $19.95 |
