Synopsis
A novel in the form of a memoir, drawn from Dunne's unique, behind-the-scenes perspective on the O. J. Simpson trial.
Christopher Lehmann-Haupt
Another City, Not My Own is Dominick Dunne's O. J. Simpson book, and several obvious items of evidence advertise it as fiction....It regales the reader with all the gossip and speculation that came out of the case, as well as a number of items that are new yet altogether plausible....What keeps you devouring Mr. Dunne's pages like potato chips is the fascination of a superlative social gadfly brought to a peak of popularity by everyone's obsession with the Simpson case....The suspicion remains overwhelming that in this mischievously gossipy book, he is trying have it both ways: on the one hand, telling a certain form of truth and, on the other, shrugging off all responsibility for that truth. -- The New York Times
