Blonde

In this ambitious book, Joyce Carol Oates boldly imagines the inner, poetic and spiritual life of Norma Jeane Baker - the child, the woman, the fated celebrity and idolized blonde the world came to know as Marilyn Monroe.In a voice startling, intimate, and rich, Norma Jeane tells her own story, that of an emblematic American artist - intensely conflicted and driven - who has lost her way. A powerful portrait of Hollywood's myth and an extraordinary woman's heartbreaking reality, Blonde is a sweeping epic that pays tribute to the elusive magic and devastation behind the creation of the great twentieth-century American star.
