Blonde – Oatesová Joyce Carol (2022)

Blonde is a mesmerizing 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 hypnotized by its own myths, and the devastating effects it had on Hollywood's greatest star.
