While it seems that anyone who knew Jackie, even on the peripheral, wrote a book, as evidenced by some that are pure sludge, this one is at the top of the list, showing not only her literary intelligence, but her symbiotic relationship with her authors that she edited and how she learned the craft of editing quickly, and well. The book also shows how she deftly managed to lead this new life, outside of the view of the press, who had dogged her since her White House years.
Greg Lawrence then partnered with dancer Gelsey Kirkland, was one of her authors, and this fine bouquet shows Onassis at her best: professional, dedicated, fearless, and determined; many of the qualities that earned her praise and admiration for the White House restoration, and that awakened American sensibilities to the fine arts. Lawrence also notes that she was the last of the "old school" editors, like Max Perkins, who were of a certain social class, before publishing became corporate. It's also a dramatic tale of women in the 20th century and how they redefined themselves in light of their changed lives after the ill-named "women's liberation." While one may not think of Jackie as a feminist, in her own way, she was. And, while she didn't beat cancer, she beat the hell out of an industry, at that time, that had few female editors. Vive Jackie.
