For the first time in Russian, a book is the winner of the most important British award in the non-fiction genre (Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction). As Jury President Martha Kearney said, "Brown has succeeded in reinventing the very genre of biography." Author of 18 books and long-time spoof columnist for Private Eye magazine, Brown "artfully intertwined details from multiple sources: diary entries, fan letters, interview transcripts, ratings and charts" to create a unique portrait of the world-changing Fab Four on the half-century anniversary of their breakup. . “It's not easy to imagine that someone could say something new about the Beatles, given how much has already been written about them, and yet this is a very original book. It's a fun book, but it's also very deep and makes you think about the very nature of fame." According to Brown, he sought to "capture the exhilaration and lightheartedness of the Beatles era and the speed at which John, Paul, George and Ringo changed, for better and for worse. I wanted to show the impact they had on literally everyone, from Her Majesty the Queen to Charlie Manson. And I decided that the best thing for this would be a scattering of short chapters, from which, like from prisms, a kaleidoscope will form.
