Synopsis

Through a myriad of characters both real and invented (and some whose names have been changed) journalist and author Bryan Woolley presents one of the best dissections of Dallas life in 1963 in his novel November 22. Covering the twenty-four hours surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Woolley accurately captures the essence of the day's atmosphere, resulting in a rich cross section of a city more complex and diverse than many observers have been willing to acknowledge. He describes in microcosm how the world changed in the twinkling of an eye and peers into the shifting lives of all people affected by this shattering event. Readers will be surprised at how relevant the book is to the Dallas--and America--of right now.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Dear Bryan, When your novel, November 22, first came out, I read it with great interest. Just recently, though, I picked it up again, and in rereading it I am even more impressed with the book than I was originally. I think your approach to establishing the different points of view in the community on that fateful day is a wonderful technique. I think it really tells the story of what Dallas was like better than any of the nonfiction books of the time. With best regards, Stanley Marcus July 16, 1984
