JFK Jr., George, & Me by Matt Berman
Synopsis coming soon.......
“Told with unprecedented candor and wit. . . Matt paints a vivid portrait of JFK Jr., that only a select few have ever seen, offering a touching and honest tribute to John’s legacy.” * Bookreporter *
“Berman seems to have saved every photo and scrap of paper from those days.” * New York Post *
“The author’s humor and self-deprecation make for a lot of fun moments as he takes readers behind the scenes of many photo shoots, dishing on celebrity behavior such as Barbara Walters’s playful flirtation with a notoriously disagreeable photographer. In addition, Berman details the creative process leading up to the launch of George.. . . Most noteworthy though is Berman’s insight into the character and work ethic of his late boss. . . . It is Berman’s palpable grief and musings on wasted potential at the loss of his friend that make this more than a celebrity-tell all.” * Publishers Weekly *
“Nearly 15 years after Kennedy died in a plane crash at age 38, Berman is looking back at those heady days and recalling his friend in a new memoir." * USA Today *
“Berman recounts his relationship with JFK Jr., both personal and professional.” * Library Journal *
“For a shy young art director, being hired to design John F. Kennedy Jr.’s new magazine was both daunting and exhilarating.” * Vanity Fair *
A perfectly-timed, personal, funny and fascinating look back on the mid-90's publishing world. I read it in one sitting. -- Julie Klausner, Comedian
