The next novel from author Bryce Zabel, whose debut,Surrounded by Enemies: What if Kennedy Survived Dallas? won the coveted Sidewise Award for Alternate History. "We know The Beatles let it be, but what if they worked it out instead? This book gives life to every fan's fantasy. It's a great new adventure full of twists and turns that never were, but might have been." --Chris Carter, host, Breakfast with the Beatles & Chris Carter's British Invasion (Sirius/XM Radio) We all know the tragic story by now. After seven years as the most popular rock-and-roll group the world has ever seen, The Beatles--torn apart by personal and creative differences--called it quits in 1970, never to play together again. The fact that their contemporaries like the Rolling Stones are still playing today makes their ending even more painful. Once There Was a Way: What if The Beatles Stayed Together? is a story of another reality, the one we wished had happened, where the Fab Four chose to work it out rather than let it be. This book is no mere fairy tale, but a chronicle crafted from the people and events of our own history, shaped to create a brand new narrative in which John, Paul, George, and Ringo find a way to stay friends and keep the band together. Imagine there was more. Lots more. It's easy if you try. "Hold on to your hats, folks. You're in for quite a ride." --Harry Turtledove, alternative history author, How Few Remain, on Surrounded by Enemies… (más)

Cosa sarebbe successo se i Beatles non si fossero sciolti nel 1970? In questo libro Bryce Zabel scrive un'ucronia, sotto forma di biografia del quartetto dal 1968 al 1975. Un po' come in Sliding Doors, la storia comincia con una minima differenza. Quando John e Paul furono ospiti del Johnny Carson Show, non furono lasciati al "supplente" Joe Garagiola; all'ultimo momento Carson cancellò un suo show per partecipare. Da lì parte una narrazione alternativa, con il quartetto sempre sul punto di sciogliersi ma che anziché fare album solisti pubblica album formalmente di gruppo. Se non amate i Beatles, il libro non fa per nulla per voi. Che senso avrebbe una biografia fasulla? Ma un esperto beatlesiano si diverte a vedere il mix tra realtà e fantasia che riprende anche cose effettivamente avvenute, ma in tutt'altro contesto. Pensate ai Beatles che partecipano a Woodstock oppure recitano in Lord of the Rings sotto la regia di Stanley Kubrick... (Ci furono davvero contatti per entrambi i progetti, come Zabel spiega nell'appendice) Diciamo che per me Zabel ha saltato lo squalo quando racconta del rapimento di John (fin qui nulla di male) che alla fine viene salvato anche con l'aiuto di... un diciannovenne Steve Jobs. Carina l'intervista finale per il tour 2015, con John (dopo il rapimento la security nei confronti dei Beatles fu accresciuta, e perciò Chapman fu fermato prima che riuscisse ad assassinarlo), Paul, Ringo, e... No, non vi posso dire chi ha preso il posto di George che anche in questa ucronia è morto nel 2001 (la scelta di Zabel è stata di non modificare le morti per malattia, che sono indipendenti da cosa hanno fatto i Beatles; anche Linda è morta).

Imagine an alternative reality - it's easy if you try. -Introduction
Americans of a certain age still remember vividly how inevitable it once was that the world's greatest rock group would break up. The four youthful Moptops who seemed like best friends had become four angry men who acted like mortal enemies. From 1968 to 1971, virtually everyone knew the Beatles would be finished sooner or later. And yet they were not. -From the Editor of Rockstar Magazine
