Cultural Depictions of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - Literature

Literature

In Kurt Vonnegut's Galápagos, Onassis is one of several celebrity guests who abandon the cruise before it leaves port.

Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby features a dream sequence in which Rosemary Woodhouse finds herself on a yacht with the First Family, and briefly speaks to Kennedy. This scene is depicted in the 1968 film version, but the identity of the Kennedys is not made clear.

Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    The desire to create literature leads to frights, grunts, and coy looks.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
