“Oates’ achievement is remarkable because the immediate, visceral impact of Monroe’s image is so very much a phenomenon of film, defying the inward-looking, speculative mind of literature…If a novel can't deliver Monroe’s beauty, a force that profoundly shaped how people behaved toward her, it can, better than any film, give us her interior world.”
New York Times Book Review
The National Book Award finalist and national bestseller exploring the life and legend of Marilyn Monroe
Soon to be a Netflix Film starring Ana de Armas, Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale and Julianne Nicholson
In one of her most ambitious works, Joyce Carol Oates boldly reimagines the inner, poetic, and spiritual life of Norma Jeane Baker—the child, the woman, the fated celebrity, and idolized blonde the world came to know as Marilyn Monroe. In a voice startlingly intimate and rich, Norma Jeane tells her own story of an emblematic American artist—intensely conflicted and driven—who had lost her way. A powerful portrait of Hollywood's myth and an extraordinary woman's heartbreaking reality, Blonde is a sweeping epic that pays tribute to the elusive magic and devastation behind the creation of the great 20th-century American star.
