"MJ: THE GENIUS OF MICHAEL JACKSON" Scribner, 2015
Amazon; Barnes & Noble

"Steve Knopper has done something very difficult: He's written a fair-minded, musically comprehensive biography of the weirdest superstar in pop history. This is the clearest, most objective portrait of Jackson I've read."
—Chuck Klosterman, New York Times bestselling author of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and I Wear the Black Hat

“Very powerful.”
—Booklist, STARRED review

“Reveals a complicated, workaholic, tortured, sensitive soul…One of the book’s clear strengths is its immediacy, the result of more than 400 interviews…Knopper writes with verve…He conveys Jackson’s drive and brilliance while also being cleareyed about his demons…captures the inherent tragedy of the arc of Jackson’s biography.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“A fascinating account of the tortured artist’s tumultuous life that will be an invaluable resource to music historians and fans alike.”
—Publishing Weekly
