		By the late 1980s, John Gregory Dunne, who has died age 71, and his wife Joan Didion were the hottest literary couple in the United States.
		Dunne's first screenplay, written in collaboration with Didion in 1971, was Panic In Needle Park, a movie about young heroin addicts in New York City.
		Dunne's journalism, and a wide circle of informants and gossip-mongers, led him inevitably to the Kennedy family.

	The List in Memoriam - John Gregory Dunne
		John Gregory Dunne sitting on the other side of Otto’s desk, off to the corner, emerged and took over the conversation with all the required subtle (and not so) deferences to the mogul behind the desk.
		John was a fairly big guy, taller and wider, compared to his wife, with a very assertive and enthusiastic personality, his hot to her cool.
		John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion went on to become the most distinguished husband and wife writing team in America, individually and together, mutually and separately prolific, and productive — creatively, intellectually and financially.

	Playland
		In effect, Dunne takes the basic materials of a Sidney Sheldon potboiler and invests them with considerable meaning by making the process of their discovery and the limitations on their interpretation as significant as the "facts" of the story in themselves.
		Indeed, because the reconstruction is such a complex process, it is a measure of Dunne's considerable novelistic talent that he maintains a fine balance between the narrative consideration of what are essentially meta-fictional concerns and the narrative interest in the "good" story to be found in Blue Tyler's life.
		John Gregory Dunne's choice of subjects and his manner of treating them places him between Raymond Chandler and Nathanael West in a territory where dream and nightmare cannot be separated out of actuality.

	This posthumous Dunne is vintage Dunne
		Outside New York and L.A., Dunne probably was most famous for being the husband of Joan Didion, with whom he frequently collaborated on screenplays, and for being the younger brother of Dominick Dunne, true-crime writer and courtroom gossip.
		To a generation of journalists, though, John Gregory Dunne was an icon of the 1960s New Journalism, in which writers become participants in their stories.
		Dunne populated it with exquisitely drawn protagonists with whom we're meant to identify, and outrageous archetypes of opportunist politicians, ambitious bureaucrats, groveling publicists, dictatorial judges, pampered athletes and teenage supermodels.

		Dunne's explorations of the magic of serendipity (and how lucky is it?), the effects of ego and the requirements of a "good story" on truth give the novel layers of wit and irony, but it's robbed of real depth by the focus on gangsterism and the rehashing of the Bugsy Seigel story.
		Blue Tyler is a character who arouses sympathy and impatience, but the heavy handed thugs at the center of the plot distract from her complex pathos.
