Me & Lee
How I Came to Know, Love and Lose Lee Harvey Oswald
by Judyth Vary Baker
A recommendation by Kevin Kolb
Judyth Baker is a liar or Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. She gives day-by-day photographic memory style recitations of time spent with Oswald. To her, not only was Oswald a spy, he was a spy that told her everything.
I’ve seen interviews where she talks about her belief in UFOs and another interview where she reveals that she believes we’re living in a simulation. That’s where the need for several grains of salt comes in.
There are a few tangible pieces of evidence that put her and Oswald at the same job at the same time though. Then there’s Anna Lewis who corroborates that Judyth knew Lee as well.
I read it as a book of New Orleans nostalgia, of a different era, before my time. As such, it’s well worth the walk down memory lane, albeit a memory of a place that I would only come to know years later and a place that may only have existed in Baker’s mind.
I enjoyed this book, I just don’t know if it belongs on the fiction or non-fiction shelf.
