On Michael Jackson
Ebony, Jan, 2006
Michael Jackson. Who is he? What is his story? Few have been able to answer those questions. And few have been able to piece together the complex puzzle of Jackson's life, let alone place it into a social context. But Margo Jefferson, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times critic, rises to the challenge in her new book, ON MICHAEL JACKSON (Pantheon, $20).
Jefferson offers a scathing critique of the evolving world of Michael Jackson--who rose from child prodigy to biggest star in the world to relative ignobility. Jackson's rise and fall, Jefferson points out, may say as much about society as it does about him. ON MICHAEL JACKSON is a powerful analysis of Jackson the icon and goes beyond tabloid journalism to look at the man and his life.
