Named one of the 100 Best Novels Ever Written in English (The Guardian)

Loos’s classic tale shows that questions of women and power—more relevant today than ever—can come in the most alluring of packages.

This delirious 1925 Jazz Age classic introduced readers to Lorelei Lee, the small-town girl from Little Rock, who has become one of the most timeless characters in American fiction. Outrageous and charming, this not-so-dumb blonde has been portrayed on stage and screen by Carol Channing and Marilyn Monroe and has become the archetype of the footloose, good-hearted gold digger (not that she sees herself that way). Masquerading as her diaries, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes follows Lorelei as she entertains suitors across Europe before returning home to marry a millionaire. In this delightfully droll and witty book, Lorelei’s glamorous pragmatism shines, as does Anita Loos’s mastery of irony and dialect. A craze in its day and with ageless appeal, this new Liveright edition puts Lorelei back where she belongs: front and center.

gentleman prefer blondes

Gostei bastante do bom humor da narradora, e principalmente das suas nuances, pois ela nem sempre é considerada boazinha.
Só que ao ler você tem que ter em mente que esse é um livro clássico e tem algumas problemáticas (não tão graves ao meu ver)
