Julian Mitchell, \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe redoubtable George Melly (1926-2007): flamboyant jazz singer, sexually ambiguous raconteur, prodigiously gifted critic. In the early sixties, at the birth of what we now recognise as the pop revolution, Melly began work as a broadsheet journalist, commenting upon this new cultural phenomenon. Revolt into Style (1970) is his first-hand account of those turbulent and exciting years when all things creative - whether music, fashion, film, art or literature - were changed utterly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentral to the book are The Beatles - the epitome of the swinging sixties - who charted the decade's changes and about whose significance the Liverpudlian Melly had a special feel and insight. Alongside the Fab Four is a large cast of movers and shakers, of wannabes and taste-makers, all dissected by Melly's surgical mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47162826293488,"sku":"9780571281114","price":20.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571281114_p0.jpg?v=1769896805","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571281114","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
