The Umbrella Man: What We Talk About When We Talk About the JFK Assassination
Martin Fitzgerald
17 - 22 Aug
Dallas, 22 November 1963. The main event is
supposed to be on Main Street - crowds fifty deep, a blizzard of ticker
tape. A few blocks away in Dealey Plaza, the scene is quieter: a handful
of people, clear skies. A man with an umbrella. A woman with a polaroid. A
dressmaker with vertigo. These are the strange, true stories of the
ordinary people who opted out of the main event, only to spend the rest of
their lives unable to leave it.
