Like millions of Americans, journalist Gus Bailey is drawn into the vortex of the O. J. Simpson trial. By day, Gus is a fixture at law offices, newspapers, courtrooms, and even judge's offices. By night, he is feted by celebrities who delight in the hottest news from the courtroom corridors. Interweaving fact and fiction surrounding "The Trial of the Century," Another City, Not My Own illuminates the meaning of guilt and innocence, of justice served and justice denied, and of the price of celebrity in today's America.

Absolutely on the money! Word for word coverage of the OJ Simpson trial and all of the “trimmings” that come along with it! From the eye of the storm, Dominick Dunne, who had a front row seat literally! Dunne sat in on the trial and had meetings and dinners with everyone involved from Marcia Clark to the families of the innocent slain victims, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knows if they put just one or two pieces of the evidence together that OJ is guilty beyond any reasonable doubt! This is the story of the trial of the century, told by a courtroom expert who watched as the most obvious obstruction of justice played out before his own eyes! As the country watched, on two different sides, he wrote daily about the goings on. Relating at times to his own pain, as a parent of a murdered child, as non-justice appeared before him.
The account is written as fiction but told in such a compelling way that you cannot put it down for a second!!
The ending of the “fictional “ side of the book is as compelling as the truth of the book itself!!
It is a MUST READ!!!!
TEN STARS!!!!!!

Great book, will highly recommend. reader is great, story is great. the minimum for words here is stupid and ridiculous. let me say what I want to say without having to feel the pressure of covering 15 words. the only thing I don't like is Audible and it's policies.

Great book

Re-reading this after OJ Simpson’s death. Fascinating and I can still see Dunne’s face when the verdict was read—completely stunned, mouth hanging open, I loved all of his books, The Two Mrs. Grenvilles was a favorite. I miss his writing and insights so much. It would have been fabulous to hear his take on Meagain Markle. He would have had a field day. Rest in Peace Mr. Dunne.

I liked this. It was an interesting read. A first person account of the OJ trial as told thru a 2nd/3rd person prospective. Enjoyable.

Very good

Absolutely riveting from start to finish!! This book had me captivated from the start. It has everything from movie stars, Hollywood gossip, true crime, family drama and suspense! Dominick Dunne does not disappoint with this “novel”. Whether you’re from Los Angeles or not, this read is sure to thrill the reader!

Entertainment at its best!

The perfect complement to having watched either recent TV miniseries about the OJ Simpson trial (or both). Recaps the trial highlights but mostly focuses on the gossip behind the scenes, things never brought up in court and never depicted in TV, including a parade of Hollywood A listers depicted by name (despite the author's changing the names of himself and his own family). Even better because it's read by the author. Highly recommended.

First, the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman is a crime against two people that was very real and an absolute tragedy to against humanity and especially to their families.

This book is a fictional re-imagining of the subsequent trial amongst OJ's celebrity peers. To someone like me the book feels very real. It follows the trial and drops hearsay in real time. I do not know how this story would hit if you did not follow the OJ trial. I did. This is a book I've read and now an audio I've listened to.

Another City, Not My Own is an indulgent listen for a true crime person and it's a great listen for anyone that wants to revisit the national obsession with convicting OJ --Dominick Dunne skips facts in this novel and sticks entirely to gossip. It's easy to say whatever you like when you are not under oath. If you are new to the OJ trial this book presupposes tons of prior knowledge. Make sure you brushed up on the trial before you read this. Most folks of a certain age won't have to. Nearly every person in America with leisure to listen, followed this trial. I swear when the verdict was read, the country stopped.

Gus Bailey, the protagonist, is a biased reporter. He has his own reasons for believing OJ is capable of murder. Gus' dinner parties parallels the trial. As the trial progresses the drama among the celebrities that Gus namedrops fluffles along.

The narrative arc follows the trial faithfully, with Gus shamelessly along for the ride, dining out on the crime like an old hen. I love it. If he were my friend and I were super shallow I would not get enough of this. I suppose I am the latter.

A very fun book about a cruel crime. It's a clever book and well done. Can't take that away. Some thing that OJ got away with it in criminal court-- it is a fact he got off, but he was convicted of the crime in the civil court. At the end of the day Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson are still dead.

I do not think that Ron Goldman was just dropping by Nicole's house on an errand to return her sunglasses. Not that it matters.

great gossip, a good re-listen--narration suits me

I've always liked Dominick Dunne. I watched his show Power, Privilege and Justice over and over. Gus Bailey is Dunne's alter ego and an amiable character . Although the narration was a bit off at times, this was a fantastic listen with a little twist at the end.

Great entertainment!

I picked this up because I read Griffin Dunne’s recent book and I just wanted to know his dad better. I’m so glad I read this because this is an excellent read and there were lots of new things about the case. I could also feel his passion for justice, which we so often don’t get. I can just say this was worth every minute and I’m glad that it’s available for all of us.

I thought I was done with OJ
