Abstract: This month’s MJ Studies Today column looks at a new book about Michael Jackson published in February 2024. Titled Michael Jackson: The Man, The Music, The Controversy by Monika Wiesak, it presents a sympathetic view of the superstar without shying away from the serious controversies that have continued to dog his legacy. Wiesak’s conversational narrative includes much that is familiar to Jackson fans, but also accesses details from court documents and interviews to explain what happened to Michael, and possible reasons why.
