American adulterer a novel

- Taut, magnificent prose: Mercurio's premise'to chronicle Kennedy's exploits, political and sexual, through the President's own anguished but self-centered perspective'is bold to the point of hubris, but he succeeds in spades. The writing is elegant, spare, and wry; the narrative is exquisitely paced. The book's ending is emotionally shattering'empathetic, redemptive, and shocking. - Startlingly revisionist portrait of JFK: We see Kennedy at his best, as a visionary statesman, a former soldier turned moral pacifist, a loving parent and devoted husband. And we see him at his worst, as a compulsive philanderer whose countless conquests'of movie stars, socialites, secretaries, and interns'ruined hundreds of lives. - Amazing cast of characters: They are all here: Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Angie Dickinson, Judith Campbell, LBJ, Fiddle and Faddle, Eisenhower, and perhaps most memorably, Jacqueline Kennedy.

  • "Like any successful philanderer, he must be circumspect in his choice of mistresses and exercise every effort to conceal his affairs from his wife and jealous rivals. But this is no ordinary adulterer-- he is John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States. And each affair propels him into increasingly murky waters."

A 36 ans, ce brillant politicien idéaliste, symbole d'une Amérique jeune et pleine d'espoir, 35e président des Etats-Unis, est un mari aimant et un père dévoué.
