When I think of Jacqueline Kennedy, I think of grace. She seems to me to have always been just a tick above others when it came to the business of how to live our lives. She was an example to others in many ways.
It was peculiar to me when I heard she became an editor at Doubleday in her later years. I mean, editors can become famous, but famous people becoming editors? Never!
Out this week from KnopfDoubleday/Random House is Reading Jackie: Her Autobiography in Books by William Kuhn. I read a lot of biographies and memoirs because I love them. I have never read a "hard" biography of Ms. Kennedy, but this one is just quirky enough to be interesting. Along with learning more about Jackie, it might be interesting to read the insider publishing stories too.
The Daily Beast ran an intriguing excerpt here.
