A review by lizferneau
Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates

3.0

I think I was hoping it would be more of a window into who she was as a person and not so much the scandalous stories of her lovers. I felt like most of the book focused on her relationships and less on her work. But then again her work wasn’t really much of a choice. She was raped and taken advantage of. Her life was full of loss of self by the Hollywood grip on her image as Marilyn Monroe. Sad but interesting take on a retelling of Norma Jean Baker’s life.
