Letters to Jackie Kennedy


Newton Author/Historian Ellen Fitzpatrick on Visual Radio along with writer/editor Rachel Kramer Bussel; film review Rocketship X-M with guest film historian Frank Dello Stritto

This week on Visual Radio we have Newton historian and author, Ellen Fitzpatrick, chatting via phone about her new book LETTERS TO JACKIE. This 10th Anniversary of 9/11 casts a shadow over that deep, dark moment in American history, the November 22, 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy, forty-eight years ago.

As the publicist notes: "Within seven weeks of the President's death, Jacqueline Kennedy received more than 800,000 condolence letters. Two years later, the volume of correspondence would exceed 1.5 million letters. For the next forty-six years, the letters would remain essentially untouched."


Ellen Fitzpatrick has selected approximately 250 of these letters for inclusion in Letters to Jackie, She will talk to us live, via phone, about how she selected each letter and her perspective on how this book fits into American history and literature.



Rachel Kramer Bussel, erotica writer and editor, has just put out the book
