Today is the 50 year anniversary of
the JFK assassination. Publishers have been putting out so many books to tie
into the event (mostly narrative nonfiction and political analyses), and I’ve
been fascinated reading all the coverage in People Magazine and Entertainment
Weekly. I even found myself watching that old movie starring Kevin
Costner—all three hours of it! (It’s a great movie, if you haven’t seen it.)
I know there are a lot of history
enthusiasts here in the BC community. Has anyone else been reading or thinking
about this lately? Has it been inspiring your work?
It’s such an enigmatic time in US
history, I’d love to read more fiction and novelizations that have to do with
it. Share a link to your book if it’s something
you’ve posted on BC.

Hello Lucy, I am a little late to write an anniversary book on the assassination itself, but that said I think the fallout from his death is just as riveting and down right incriminating to Johnson. Between the escalation in the Vietnam action, and the reversal of monetary policy I don't understand how anyone can believe in any of the "successors" since.
Not sure if politics is an off limit topic, but you started it, ha ha.
By the way, JFK was an awesome movie.
