REVOLVER:a novel
Concord Free Press (2021)
"An imaginative and most enjoyable literary fantasy" *
“A novel that beautifully expresses the radiant power of music in our lives.” **
As the 1970s end, two star-crossed high-school lovers from Long Island go on a mystical journey that takes them deep into the heart of rock ‘n’ roll — and puts them on a collision course with their hero, John Lennon.
Suspenseful, funny, and emotional, REVOLVER deftly combines a coming-of-age story, a deep dive into rock history, and an exploration of the enduring power of music. All set to a soundtrack of the breakthrough albums of the era.
This big-hearted debut novel from Evan I. Schwartz serves as a resonant reminder of John Lennon’s enduring legacy, and inspires us to reimagine a better world.
“The Rock ‘n’ Roll of Non-Profit Publishing” - Writer’s Digest feature on the free edition of REVOLVER.
