Short description
Michael Jackson was once universally acclaimed as a song-and-dance man of genius; Wacko Jacko is now, more often than not, dismissed for his bizarre race and gender transformations and confounding antics. Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Jefferson brilliantly unravels the complexities of this enigmatic figure.
Review
Stimulating.... Incisive, intelligent.... Engaging, well written and consistently on target.
-- The New York Times
Jefferson writes...with elegance and attitude....One closes the book hungry to hear her take on other talented but troubled celebrities. -- The Washington Post
Sparkling....Eloquent and provocative.... Watching Margo Jefferson's mind at work is as pleasurable and thrilling as seeing Michael Jackson dance.
-- O, The Oprah Magazine
