Inhaltsangabe

The First Lady & The Writer, Provincetown 1961, set in a time capsule, is the real life event fictionalized "fly on the wall" account of Jackie Kennedy & Gore Vidal spending the day in Provincetown. At the time, Jackie was the most famous woman on the planet. They palled around, hid in plain sight and finally at the evening's end were barred from a private drinking club because Jackie failed to produce an I.D. The book explores that meeting in depth and elegantly delves into both Jackie's and Gore's distinct personalities. Their conversations are lively, introspective, and peppered with real facts to lend credibility, enough imagination to make it interesting, and an equal measure of cattiness to make it fun. Between the two of them, they seem to know everyone, and the cool sophistication they possess comes across as refreshing rather than snobbish. The 1960s world created, captures a period of time when sophistication and glamour were something women were particularly thirsty. Jackie quenched that thirst just by being herself. To gain insight into two of the most fascinating people of the 20th Century, glimpses are provided into both their lives, past and present, not as the larger than life personifications they presented to the world at their zenith, but as sophisticated real people.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Brenda Pizzo is a woman of a certain age who grew up in a suburb of Boston in the 1950s and 1960s, and as a girl yearned for the sophisticated and expansive world of her titular subjects, Jackie Kennedy and Gore Vidal. They were so glamorous and knew everyone who was anyone and had been to so many wonderful places. Fantastic cities like New York City, Paris, Rome and many countries she hoped to go to see for herself. Retired now and residing in Boston with her husband of more than forty years, she can say with some satisfaction that she has seen much of the world and has obtained the fulfilled life she dreamed of in her youth.
