Blonde

In 'Blonde', Joyce Carol Oates presents a sweeping epic that reimagines the life of Norma Jeane Baker, better known as Marilyn Monroe.

The novel is a powerful portrait of Hollywood’s myth and the heartbreaking reality of an extraordinary woman.

It delves into Norma Jeane’s childhood, her rise to stardom, and her struggles with identity, addiction, and the exploitation she faced in the male-dominated Hollywood of the 1950s and 1960s.

The book is a work of fiction, but it is deeply researched and offers a poignant and intimate look at the life of one of the 20th century’s most iconic stars.
