{"product_id":"9781439137321","title":"American Adulterer: A novel","description":"• 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• 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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• 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.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142602604784,"sku":"9781439137321","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781439137321_p0.jpg?v=1763756650","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781439137321","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
