Join the University of Houston Art History Program for a book talk and signing with Dr. Kenneth Womack, renowned authority on The Beatles and author of the new book, Living the Beatles Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans. Working with full access to Mal’s unpublished archives and having conducted hundreds of new interviews, Womack affords readers with a full telling of Mal’s unknown story at the heart of the Beatles’ legend. Lavishly illustrated with unseen photos and ephemera from Mal’s archives, Living the Beatles’ Legend is the missing puzzle piece in the Fab Four’s incredible story.
Dr. Womack is one of the world’s leading authorities on the Beatles and their enduring cultural influence. He is the author of a two-volume biography devoted to famed Beatles producer Sir George Martin, including Maximum Volume (2017) and Sound Pictures (2018). His latest book, Living the Beatles Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans (2023), traces the extraordinary life and times of the Beatles’ roadie.
Dr. Womack serves as Professor of English and Popular Music at Monmouth University. He is the founding Editor of Interdisciplinary Literary Studies: A Journal of Criticism and Theory, published by Penn State University Press, and Co-Editor of the English Association’s prodigious Year’s Work in English Studies, published by Oxford University Press. Over the years, he has shared his work with public libraries and community organizations across the nation, including audiences at Princeton University, Harvard University, the Smithsonian Institution, the Grammy Museum, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the 92nd Street Y. He has also served as an expert commentator for the BBC, NPR, ABC’s 20/20, MSNBC’s Morning Joe, and NBC’s Access Hollywood.
