MAN IN THE Música: MICHAEL JACKSON

Available for the first time in paperback: cultural critic Joseph Vogel’s smart, insightful, and moving exploration of the solo works of Michael Jackson—a wonderful gift to fans on the tenth anniversary of his death.
When news broke of Michael Jackson’s death on June 25, 2009, the world mourned his death by celebrating his work—some of the most joyful and cherished songs of our era. Of course, even outside of his Música, Jackson’s life was notable—by turns enviable and eccentric, always fascinating and relentlessly public. Much attention has been paid to his life as media fodder, but rarely do writers give his recordings given their proper critical due.
