"Re-released to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of Onassis's death, this version of What Jackie Taught Us includes a series of new essays that represent an important contribution to not only Flaherty's book, but also to "Jackie studies" in general. It's a treat to have the legacy of someone who's so seldom considered seriously (so often she's reduced to dresses and hats) reevaluated by the likes of Edna O'Brien, Allen Packwood, and Malachy McCourt. And Liz Smith's preface is a downright gem.
Twenty years after her death, we're still curious about Jackie. From Flaherty's book, we get some clues as to why. -NewBooksinBiography.com
