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.

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!!!!!!

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
