Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis neve***rote a memoir, but she told

her life story and revealed herself in intimate ways through the

nearly 100 books she brought into print during the last two decades

of her life as an editor at Viking and Doubleday. Based on archives

and interviews with Jackie's authors, colleagues, and friends,

Reading Jackie mines this significant period of her life to reveal

both the serious and the mischievous woman underneath the glamorous

public image.

Though Jackie had a reputation for avoiding

publicity, she willingly courted controversy in her books. She was

the first editor to commission a commercially-successful book

telling the story of Thomas Jefferson’s relati***hip with his

female slave. Her publication of Gelsey Kirkland's attack on

dance icon Ge***e Balanchine caused another storm. Jackie rarely

spoke of her personal life, but many of her books ran parallel to,

echoed, and emerged from her own experience. She was the editor

behind bestsellers on the assassinati*** of Tsar Nicholas II and

John Lennon, and in another book she paid tribute to the allure of

Marilyn Monroe and Maria Callas. Her other projects take us into

territory she knew well: journeys to Egypt and India, explorati***

of the mysteries of female beauty and media exploitation, into the

minds of p***ographers, art historians, and the designers at

Tiffany & Co.

Many Americans regarded Jackie as the paragon of

grace, but few knew her as the woman sitting on her office floor

laying out illustrati***, or flying to California to persuade

Michael Jackson to write his autobiography. Reading Jackie provides

a compelling behind-the-scenes look at Jackie at work: how she

commissioned books and nurtured authors, as well as how she helped

to shape stories that spoke to her strongly. Jackie is remembered

today for her marriages to JFK and to Aristotle Onassis, but her

real legacy is the books that reveal the tastes, recollecti***, and

passi*** of an independent woman.
