In Love with
Night : the American romance with Robert Kennedy |
 |
Steel Ronald
2000 |
Drawing on his striking
interpretation of Kennedy's character, award-winning historian Ronald
Steel examines the life against the legend. It is that legend - one that
Kennedy consciously created- that has made him the vessel of the nation's
frustrated dreams. Those deams have created the enduring myth of "what
might have been". |

Baldrige Letitia
1998 |
When
Jacqueline Kennedy told her social secretary, Letitia Baldrige, that she
planned to make some changes to White House entertaining, neither of them
could have foreseen what would follow. Within a few short years,
Jacqueline Kennedy's natural elegance and taste would completely transform
how the White House - and America- entertained. With French cuisine in the
State Dining Room and Pablo Casals playing in the East Room, Jackie
created some of the most memorable occasions in White House history and
set a standard for hospitality that the whole country would emulate.
In this book Letitia Baldrige and White House chef Renč Verdon have
collaborated to recreate some of the most famous evenings of that storied
era. |

Elfriede Jelinek
2017 |
Italian version.
This is the theatratical monologue written in 2002 from the 2004 Nobel
Prize-winning Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek, with her irreverent,
sharp-eyed imagining of the inner life of former first lady Jackie
Kennedy. The one-woman play, is called simply "Jackie" but the
script calls for such chameleon-like mood changes that maybe the title
should have been pluralized.
Jelinek has created a witty, sardonic creature, rather than the
demure-seeming public Jackie familiar to Americans. Using a heavy dose of
irony, she poetically presents fresh ideas about the uses of power and
femininity (not feminism). Her examination of the authenticity of a woman
who lived in a faked media bubble, controlled by handlers and public
expectations, becomes quite poignant at times, as when Jackie muses that
she is "only air and deep pain."
With a fresh, non-American perspective, Jelinek makes clever, cynical
observations about a life that was seemingly lived in the public eye. "I
am completely private by being completely public," Jackie notes. In the
end, Jelinek provides a bittersweet view of an iconic American figure that
we were all familiar with, yet didn't really know at all. |

Andersen Christopher
1998 |
She captured the world's
imagination as First Lady. Without JFK, she achieved a kind of global fame
rarely known in XX century. Yet, in spite of it all, and the billions of
words written about her, Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis still remained veiled
in mistery and mystique. This book draws on newly uncovered information,
accompanied by dozens of rare photographs. The result is the real
Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis, revealed as never before. |

Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis] |
 |
Lawrence Greg
2011 |
An absorbing chronicle of
a much-overlooked chapter of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's life - her
nineteen-year editorial career.
History remembers Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis as the consummate first lady,
the nation's tragic widow, the millionaire's wife and, of course, the
quintessential embodiment of elegance. Her biographers. however, tend to
skip over an equally important stage in her life : her nearly
twenty-year-long career as a book editor. "Jackie as Editor" is the first
book to focus exclusively on this remarkable woman's editorial career. |
