The National Book Award finalist and national bestseller exploring the life and legend of Marilyn Monroe

In one of her most ambitious works, Joyce Carol Oates boldly reimagines the inner, poetic, and spiritual life of Norma Jeane Bakerβthe 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 artistβintensely conflicted and drivenβwho had lost her way. A powerful portrait of Hollywoodβs myth and an extraordinary womanβs heartbreaking reality,Β BlondeΒ is a sweeping epic that pays tribute to the elusive magic and devastation behind the creation of the great 20th-century American star.Β
