Acerca de esta escucha
These last two stories in the series are about Jackie's relationship with two rare people. One took me to his club, where Jackie and Brooke Astor were among the first female members. The other told me about accompanying Jackie to India, where together with her husband they travelled as a threesome.
7 - Jackie consulted Francis Mason when she wanted to change jobs after her unhappy time at Viking. He made an effort to take her to visit art publishers where he knew she'd be happy. Then she rejected his advice. Did he bear a grudge? The story of why he didn't is what makes him a fascinating man.
8 - Edith Welch gave me a behind-the-scenes account of traveling with Jackie on Indian adventures. She also wanted to talk to me about high-class prostitutes who may be admired but never possessed.
These are two short nonfiction accounts of interviews I did with longterm friends of Jackie's. I went away more impressed with these members of Jackie's circle than I'd expected. Each of them was skilled at weaving me into the conversation before I knew what was happening.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Nancy Tuckerman were friends over seven decades. Nancy almost never talked to people writing books about Jackie. She made an exception for me because I was working with her former colleagues. She and I met for the first time at the Red Lion Inn on a cold day in February. She was wearing a plain brown sweater and hiding behind a newspaper. At first she was stiff with me. But at lunch the young waiter poured her a cold cup of coffee. When he stepped away, we both laughed. That was how we began a friendlier and franker conversation that lasted 10 years.

Jackie. One name was all you needed. A paragon of femininity, fashion, ideal American wifeliness and motherhood, she was also fiercely independent, the first of the modern First Ladies. Then her husband was murdered, changing her world and ours. Traumatized and exposed, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy nonetheless built a new life for herself in an America similarly haunted by upheaval. But the story of Jackie’s reinvention has been culturally erased. In Finding Jackie, author Oline Eaton pieces it back together.

Four years before Nina Totenberg was hired at NPR, where she cemented her legacy as a prizewinning reporter, and nearly twenty-two years before Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court, Nina called Ruth. A reporter for The National Observer, Nina was curious about Ruth’s legal brief, asking the Supreme Court to do something revolutionary: declare a law that discriminated “on the basis of sex” to be unconstitutional. That call launched a remarkable, nearly fifty-year friendship.

Using remarkable new sources, Sarah Bradford has written a timely celebration of a life that was more private than commonly supposed. Revealing new testimony from many of the couple's friends shows the complexities of this apparently very public relationship and of her controversial marriage to Aristotle Onassis. Here is the private Jackie - neglected wife, vigilant mother, and working widow - whose contradictory and fascinating nature is illuminated by all that Bradford has discovered.

Five women revolutionize the modern art world in postwar America in this "gratifying, generous, and lush" true story from a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize finalist (Jennifer Szalai, New York Times). Set amid the most turbulent social and political period of modern times, Ninth Street Women is the impassioned, wild, sometimes tragic, always exhilarating chronicle of five women who dared to enter the male-dominated world of 20th-century abstract painting - not as muses but as artists.

His lengthy and distinguished career - as the voice of The Saint on the radio; as an actor in such unforgettable horror films as House of Wax and The Fly, in classic movies such as Laura and The Song of Bernadette, and on popular TV shows such as Batman and The Brady Bunch; and as a star on the Broadway stage - spanned 65 years.

As a child, Anna Wintour was a tomboy with no apparent interest in clothing but, seduced by the miniskirts and bob haircuts of swinging 1960s London, she grew into a fashion-obsessed teenager. Her father, an influential newspaper editor, loomed large in her life, and once he decided she should become editor-in-chief of Vogue, she never looked back.

A Fascinating Story Indeed
Jackie Stories continues with stories 7-8, An Expert in the Ballet World and A Harvard Professor’s Wife, both quick and intriguing. I like how you can listen to the entire audiobook in one sitting, but I do wish the stories were a tad longer. Learning more about Jackie is always fascinating to me and I feel like these stories just skim the surface when I am craving a deeper dive. I know these audiobooks are to point you to the author’s main text, Reading Jackie, but I do wish there was more here.
From learning about Jackie being approachable, which goes against what many have always presumed, to her relaxed way of traveling India with an expert in Indian art and artifacts when you would assume she would be her more couture, regal self is refreshing to hear. It’s these little known facts from those that knew her best that make these audiobooks worth a listen.
Adding to the tone of the two stories was the narrator’s always soothing voice and perfect cadence. It still throws me that the narrator is female and the author is male, (for some reason this bothers me) but this is just a personal preference, and I still enjoyed the listen nonetheless. I am currently listening to another Jackie Stories as I write this, and I can honestly say that I am enjoying this series so far. It does lend to a deeper understanding of Jackie, while also shining a light on those that shared her life with her. A truly fascinating journey indeed.
