FX's, "The People v. O.J. Simpson" Prompts New Memoir
Circa Publishing has published MY LIFE DURING THE O.J. SIMPSON TRIAL from Author Patrice Williams Marks, it was announced today by the Publisher.
While viewing the FX television series; The People v. O.J. Simpson, Patrice realized that her experiences and unique outlook on the "Crime of the Century," needed to be told. Her memoir does not come from the perspective of the defense or prosecution, jury member or family member; but from the side of a bystander who was affected in a deeply personal way.
Patrice shares her original and current opinions, outlines the key low/highlights of the case (through personal commentary, exhaustive research using original newspaper and television coverage), as well as referencing original transcripts throughout the book. Williams Marks weaves fact against fiction while including her personal family and community dynamics.
"The emotions that this trial has embedded within our psyche, are still carried with us today," Williams Marks comments, "And somehow, the trial seems even more relevant."
Williams Marks details how the Rodney King assault and Los Angeles Riots created a fertile atmosphere for the acquittal of O.J. Simpson and shares riveting personal experiences throughout the book; one of which was the author being present at the epicenter of the Los Angeles Riots.
From encountering a modern-day shunning after the verdict despite her opinion on the case, to dissecting all the elements that went into the decision of the jury; Patrice reveals an intimate look inside an average African-American's life during, and after the O.J. Simpson Trial.
