Sinossi
Joyce Carol Oates trasforma in romanzo tutte le vite di Marilyn Monroe: molto più di un sex symbol da calendario, con le sue contraddizioni e fragilità Marilyn è entrata nell'eternità del mito. Da adolescente solitaria a bellezza planetaria, ma anche donna insicura, giovane determinata, amante incostante, bambina innamorata, playmate e ragazza in lotta con lo specchio, attrice venerata e paziente in analisi, donna con molti amanti e poco amore, morta prematuramente e ancora viva nella memoria collettiva. Joyce Carol Oates, con il suo straordinario talento narrativo, riesce a mescolare storia e finzione in un romanzo in cui la vita si intreccia indissolubilmente con la fantasia, un capolavoro letterario in cui rivive la diva più grande di sempre.

YOU MUST READ THIS! Have to have to! And you will. It must be one of the BEST (FINEST) novels of all time. (& y'all know that this is the sole topic I will NEVER joke about.) Seeing the elusive, the ephemeral, through different filters--a jaguar prowling through the jungle, a baby left all alone, as Leggi tutto
Finally finished, wish I were still reading, all magic is gone from life now, pls advs. This is the New Feminist Text.

Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates is a 2017 Ecco Publication. Let me begin by saying I have had this book on my TBR list long before a Netflix movie was even thought of. I was advised that reading a good traditional biography about Marilyn Monroe before starting this one would be a good idea, so, dutifull Leggi tutto
This book was very difficult to read. Not because of the writing, which is phenomenal, but because we already know the sad ending. Joyce Carol Oates takes us on a literary journey from babyhood through to the end with a flawless, relentless depiction of the mind within the body that embarked on this Leggi tutto
For all of Blonde's claims as a novelized, feminist retelling of Marilyn Monroe's life, I have seldom come across a book with more disturbing, dehumanizing references to the female body and mind. I am aware that these are intended to further emphasize Marilyn's loathed and loved standing in the Amer Leggi tutto
Joyce Carol Oates has appropriated our American wet dream, the winner of the global boner bracket, the all-time "Who'd You Rather?" champion, she's taken and made some kind of Cinderella Christ myth out of her, tarted up for the ball by her leering old fairy godfather and when the clock hits twelve
This book was marvellous in many ways! It's a fictional piece of work following the life of Norma Jeane Baker, aka. Marilyn Monroe, from she's a child till her death as a 36-year-old woman devoured and intoxicated with drugs, medication and alcohol. It's a tragic life story, but it's hugely inspirin Leggi tutto
