THE BEATLES ARE HERE!: 50 YEARS AFTER THE BAND ARRIVED IN AMERICA, WRITERS, MUSICIANS, AND OTHER FANS REMEMBER
Book ID/图书代码： 00342514B67891
English Summary/英文概要： The 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, The Beatles Are Here! 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. The Beatles Are Here! gets to the heart of why, half a century later, the Beatles still matter to us so deeply.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 披头士的诞生犹如那些永远不会被磨灭的文化标杆，通过那些或是见证了她的诞生，又或是从其身上获得直接影响的人们的描述，《披头士永远与你同在！》将深刻探寻披头士对人们的情感影响---当他们在1964年的2月戏剧般地踏上了美国的土地，有人或许会认为那是些毫无来由的狂热情绪。本书的叙述者们，包括丽莎•西，盖伊•泰尔丝、荷内•弗莱明、小罗伊•布朗特等许多，都将用文字或是采访的形式告诉我们他们是如何收到披头士们的影响和启发的。
这部细腻且充满欢乐的收藏集的创作动机源于作家佩妮洛浦•罗兰德自己的一句披头士式言论：她是一名曾被捕捉在经典照片中的尖叫女孩，并曾在世界范围内出版发行---并作为封面人物之一，出现在本书之中。这些女孩子们的故事发生于她们各自在五十年后找到了对方，着同样也是选集中的一部分。《披头士永远与你同在！》深入探究了为何在半个世纪之后，他们任然深深地影响着我们。（DC）

About the Author/作者介绍： 很高兴我可以在此宣布自己的下一个计划---《披头士永远与你同在：披头士在美五十年，作家和乐迷回忆录》，该本选集将于2014年2月问世。
《披头士！》将聚焦这一乐队自从1964年踏上美国本土后，对其所产生的意外却巨大的深远影响。在本书中，作家、披头士狂热爱好者以及艺术家们将以文字或是采访的形式，问我们娓娓道来这场文化革命的巨大影响。
本书中的讲述者们都十分出色，其中包括丽莎•西，盖伊•泰尔丝、荷内•弗莱明、小罗伊•布朗特、皮克•莱尔、布鲁西兄弟莫洛及许许多多其他人。
我的其他书籍作品包括较为近期的"巴黎是我们的"，这是一部散文集，收入了世界各地并最终决定定居下来的作家们对这所有着惊人之美的城市的探索之旅。（我也曾是他们当中的一员，也曾创作过该类散文）。
此外，我还横荣幸的创作了卡梅尔•斯诺的传记，这位无与伦比的爱尔兰籍美国文化巨头曾于1932-1958年间担任Harper’s Bazaar杂志的主编。当时的斯诺才华横溢，幽默风趣且极具感染力，他发现并且发展了一本精彩的选集，书中满是伟人，其中包括：理查德•艾武登、戴安娜•威瑞兰德、特鲁曼•卡波特、巴伦西加、安迪•沃霍等。
I’m so excited to announce my next project -- "The Beatles Are Here!: 50 Years After the Band Arrived in America, Writers and Other Fans Remember," an anthology due out from Algonquin Books in February, 2014.
"The Beatles!" will look at the repercussions of the band’s dramatic 1964 arrival in the United States. In this volume, writers, Beatlemaniacs, musicians, and others -- in both texts and interviews -- chart the course of what was, in effect, a cultural revolution.
The book’s wonderfully diverse contributors include: Joe Queenan, Renée Fleming, Roy Blount, Jr., Pico Iyer, "Cousin Brucie" Morrow, and numerous others.
My other books include, most recently, "Paris Was Ours," a collection of essays by writers from all over the world that explore the profound hold that city has on the expatriates who choose to live there. (I was one of them, and wrote one of the essays.)
I was also privileged to write the biography of Carmel Snow, the brilliant Irish-American cultural icon who was editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar from 1932 - 1958. In that capacity Snow, with infectious fun and humor, discovered and / or nurtured the careers of an astonishingly disparate collection of boldface names, including Richard Avedon, Diana Vreeland, Truman Capote, Balenciaga, Andy Warhol, and so many more.
