Description
Pulitzer Prize-winner Margo Jefferson takes on the legend and legacy of the King of Pop.
A startlingly forthright consideration of what drove Jackson then and what drives our thinking of him now
Dazzling
Margo Jefferson's excellent, empathic take on the singer, encapsulating the pressures of being a child star, the most famous person on the planet and having a complicated legacy that can sometimes make people forget about the music
Margo Jefferson's take on his life covers all its complexities
A sizzling summer read
Succinct, analytical, non-linear, echoing a style of Susan Sontag perhaps or early Joan Didion
The winner of a Pulitzer Prize for criticism, MARGO JEFFERSON is the author of Negroland, which was shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize (formerly the Samuel Johnson) and On Michael Jackson and is a professor of writing at Columbia University School of the Arts. She was for years a theatre and book critic for Newsweek and the New York Times. Her writing has appeared in, among other publications, the Guardian, Vogue, New York magazine, and the New Republic.
