Reading Jackie
Her Autobiography in Books
Copyright 2010, by William Kuhn
Doubleday, New York, New York
ISBN: 978-0-385-53099-6
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis never wrote an autobiography. However, William Kuhn proves that we can gain insights by looking at her life as an editor of almost a hundred books, first at Viking Press, and later, at Doubleday. This is the first book to approach her life through her own work. Therefore, because we see her interacting with her clients, we get a glimpse of her from an angle other biographies have missed. William Kuhn, unlike others, impressed me as an author who based his book on real events, rather than on tea-leaf interpretations. Note that the book is published by Doubleday which is one of the employers where she worked. For that reason, too, I think the book has a bit of honesty, mixed with equal measures of grace and dignity, which one would expect. I enjoyed this book and I think you will, too.(The following link goes to the book at Amazon.)
