{"product_id":"9781616203504","title":"The Beatles Are Here!: 50 Years after the Band Arrived in America, Writers, Musicians \u0026 Other Fans Remember","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe arrival of the Beatles was one of those unforgettable cultural touchstones. Through the voices of those who witnessed it or were swept up in it indirectly, \u003ci\u003eThe Beatles Are Here!\u003c\/i\u003e explores the emotional impact—some might call it hysteria—of the Fab Four’s February 1964 dramatic landing on our shores. Contributors, including Lisa See, Gay Talese, Renée Fleming, Roy Blount, Jr., and many others, describe in essays and interviews how they were inspired by the Beatles. This intimate and entertaining collection arose from writer Penelope Rowlands’s own Beatlemaniac phase: she was one of the screaming girls captured in an iconic photograph that has since been published around the world—and is displayed on the cover of this book. The stories of these girls, who found each other again almost 50 years later, are part of this volume as well. \u003ci\u003eThe Beatles Are Here!\u003c\/i\u003e gets to the heart of why, half a century later, the Beatles still matter to us so deeply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058489508080,"sku":"9781616203504","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781616203504_p0.jpg?v=1763849487","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781616203504","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
