Why people recommend it
John & Paul by Ian Leslie is a deep exploration of the legendary creative partnership between John Lennon and Paul McCartney, examining the music and magic of their collaboration. The book was featured on Conversations with Tyler, where Tyler Cowen introduced the new release at the beginning of the episode and expressed his deep admiration for it. Russ Roberts also hosted Ian Leslie on EconTalk, where the author discussed the subtitle, A Love Story in Songs, and explained the foundational concept driving the narrative. Roberts praised a specific artistic choice in the book, noting the beauty of how many of the songs analyzed are relatively obscure rather than just mainstream hits. During the interview, Leslie drew an interesting parallel to another famous creative partnership, referencing Michael Lewis's book The Undoing Project to illustrate the complex dynamics between creative collaborators. The discussions on both podcasts celebrated the meticulous research and heartfelt analysis brought to the enduring legacy of the iconic songwriting duo.
