A show on Beatle books is a fine idea but at the same time a
little too broad: without some sort of focus, the confines of a
single episode will not allow for a thorough examination. But with
the arrival of this recent work by Erin Torkelson Weber, Richard
and Robert are able to narrow the discussion to some key works,
selected for their power in shaping public perceptions of the
Beatles’ story. Applying a strict historiographic methodology,
Erin’s book examines where various authors have succeeded or
(mostly) failed in presenting accurate and essential tellings of
their history. Authors discussed include Mark Lewisohn, Philip
Norman, Albert Goldman, Bob Spitz, Hunter Davies, Barry Miles and
Jann Wenner.
