Significant Books and Music of the Century, Year by Year
1994 was the year that Nelson Mandela was sworn in as president of South Africa; the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashed into Jupiter; "Forrest Gump" reigned at the box office; and Michael Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley, a union of two pop icons that would last less than two years.


Significant Book of 1994:
John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

BOOK Was it murder or self-defense? Berendt explored a murder case from the '80s that could only be described as gothic and simultaneously brought to life the elegance and charm of Old Savannah and its many eccentrics.

  Significant Music of 1994:
 Hole's Live Through This

BOOK Courtney Love's band, Hole, achieved huge success with its highly anticipated second album, LIVE THROUGH THIS -- a title that took on eerie overtones when Love's husband, grunge guru Kurt Cobain, committed suicide a week before the album's release. But the Beastie Boys offered hope for a bold musical future, solidifying their dense cut-and-paste artistry with ILL COMMUNICATION.
