Of all the most iconic figures covered by Norman Mailer in his esteemed career—including Muhammad Ali, Marilyn Monroe, Gary Gilmore, Lee Harvey Oswald, Pablo Picasso—no one fascinated him more than John F. Kennedy, whose presidential campaign was the subject of Mailer’s first foray into political journalism. First published in Esquire’s November 1960 issue, the essay, which is widely considered a key turning point in the dawn of New Journalism, is on the magazine’s list of its 7 greatest stories ever published and is forever enshrined in journalism history. This book revisits the seminal text with a broad selection of photographs and memorabilia. Fans of both Mailer and JFK will rejoice in this book, whose release coincides with the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination.
