NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX FILM, STARRING ANA DE ARMAS, ADRIEN BRODY, BOBBY CANNAVALE AND JULIANNE NICHOLSON, DIRECTED BY ANDREW DOMINIK-A torrentially imaginative, compulsively readable tour de force- Sunday Telegraph-A fabulous reinvention of the life of a fabulous reinvention, and a cracking page-turner to boot- Evening StandardBlonde is a mesmerising novel about the most enduring and evocative cultural icon of the 20th century: the woman who became Marilyn Monroe. A fragile and gifted young woman, Norma Jeane Baker makes and remakes her identity: she is the orphan whose mother is declared mad; the woman who changes her name to be an actress; the fated celebrity, lover and muse. Told in her voice, Blonde shows a culture hypnotised by its own myths, and the devastating effects it had on Hollywood-s greatest star.-This masterpiece about Marilyn Monroe-s life is audacious, gripping and clever- Rose Tremain-If you haven-t read Joyce Carol Oates before, start here, and now- Independent
