Norman Mailer: JFK - Superman Comes to the Supermarket

Norman Mailer once bragged that his 1960 Esquire essay "Superman Comes to the Supermarket" won Kennedy the election — and he wasn't entirely wrong. TASCHEN reimagines that seminal piece of New Journalism in XXL book form, pairing Mailer's full portrait of Kennedy as the "existential hero" with 300 photographs by Cornell Capa, Jacques Lowe, Garry Winogrand, and others who captured the campaign and the candidate's family life from the inside. The definitive document of the moment American politics became a spectacle.
