I think it was Oscar Wilde or P.T. Barnum who once said, “Any publicity is good publicity.” Oscar Wilde however also had a caveat at the end of that sentence, which read: “. . . as long as it’s intelligent.” This book is anything but.
Having researched and written the book "Mary’s Mosaic" over a period of many years, Mr. Kornbluth’s fantasy of Mary Meyer’s diary is worse than “fake news,” and does not even rise to “fake fiction.” His characterizations of both Mary Meyer and JFK are wooden, vapid, spiritually bereft figures that bare no resemblance to either of these two or what their relationship was actually like. Claiming that he read over “150 books about JFK,” and then being able to “channel Mary Meyer” when it came to imagining this so-called diary, “I would show up everyday and Mary would tell me what to do,” he told one interviewer on YouTube.
For someone who calls himself a “journalist” who boasts of himself with celebrity Vanity Fair status, Jesse Kornbluth can’t even get his facts straight in his cursory footnotes, much less include my book "Mary’s Mosaic" in his bibliography, which he references throughout this fantasy affair he’s created. On page #67, for instance in his footnote, he states, “Peter Janney recounts a two-hour interview he recorded with Timothy Leary in 1990 . . .” which has no basis in fact. The interview he refers to was an interview Leary did with the author Leo Damore. You would think that anyone who considers themselves to be a so-called journalist might want to be correct in their references to the past, but not Kornbluth. His footnotes, however disjointed, which he claims, were based on his “research,” are so riddled with egregious errors to numerous to mention.
What Kornbluth has created here is a kind of unimaginative "fictional pornography." He doesn’t even mention (nor obviously comprehend) that the so-called “artist’s sketchbook” that Ben Bradlee claimed as the diary was not Mary’s real diary; the entire story was invented by Bradlee and others to cover up the fact that Bradlee (and very likely with the CIA’s Jim Angleton) under oath testified at the 1965 trial that he entered Mary’s artist studio on the night of the murder with no problem. All available evidence points to the fact that this was when the real diary was removed.
Readers, don’t be fooled at this attempt to understand who Mary Meyer and JFK were together, or apart. I understand why many people are so intrigued by what took place in this relationship. Our most important real history in this country has been kept from us. "Mary’s Mosaic" has been an attempt on my part to correct an extremely important period in our history. Don’t allow the likes of all the Jesse Kornbluths to corrupt your search for the truth and meaning about anything. These people are nothing but charlatans who want to deprive you from approaching the real truth of what actually took place during the era of Cold War history.
