6/10/2023 0 Comments Kitty Genovese by Kevin Cook![]() I don’t think I’ve read its compelling equal in twenty years. Kevin Baker, author of The Big Crowd and Paradise Alley He’s done a first-rate reporting job, one that delivers the truth at last about an infamous murder that came to define an age. Kevin Cook rips the cover off an enduring urban myth. Jordan Michael Smith - Christian Science Monitor reporting…is rich and deep.Ĭook manages to maintain an impressive level of tension…oving…compelling. Edward Kosner - The Wall Street JournalĬook’s restoration helps make Kitty human, not merely iconographic.Ī fully-realized portrait of Kitty… Readers won’t forget that she was a person, not a player in an anecdote. ![]() Provocative… As much about the alchemy of journalism as urban pathology. His peppy knowing style calls to mind pop-culture products from the time of the murder…he is firmly and persuasively in the revisionist camp. ![]()
