On Michael Jackson by Margo Jefferson
Michael Jackson: provocateur, icon, enigma. Who was he, really? And how does his spectacular rise, his catastrophic fall, reflect upon those who made him, those who broke him, and those who loved him? Almost ten years on from Jackson's untimely death, here is Margo Jefferson's definitive and dazzling dissection of the King of Pop: a man admired for his music, his flair, his performances; and censured for his skin, his erratic behaviour, and, in his final years, for his relationships with children.
A startlingly forthright consideration of what drove Jackson then and what drives our thinking of him now * Esquire *
Dazzling * Tatler *
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 -- ‘Best Summer Books’ selected by Nikesh Shukla * Observer *
Margo Jefferson's take on his life covers all its complexities -- ‘Best Summer Books’ selected by Richard Fitzpatrick * Irish Examiner *
A sizzling summer read * Daily Mail *
Succinct, analytical, non-linear, echoing a style of Susan Sontag perhaps or early Joan Didion * Quarterly Review *
