Blonde
«
’Nobody has ever caught Marilyn more brilliantly in words than Oates’ Sunday Times
‘This masterpiece about Marilyn Monroe’s life is audacious, gripping and clever. A meditation on fame, exile and lovelessness, but most importantly a siren shriek against the commodification of women through the decades’ Rose Tremain
‘A fabulous reinvention of the life of a fabulous reinvention, and a cracking page-turner to boot’ Evening Standard
‘A torrentially imaginative, compulsively readable tour de force’ Sunday Telegraph
‘A mighty – and a mesmerizing – book’ Elaine Showalter, Literary Review
‘If you haven’t read Joyce Carol Oates before, start here, and now’ Julie Myerson, Independent
‘Blonde is an epic achievement, a masterpiece, a piece of art so shatteringly well-conceived and lavishly-wrought that at times it almost does not seem like a mere book’ Independent on Sunday
‘Novelists such as John Updike, Philip Roth, Tom Wolfe and Norman Mailer slug it out for the title of the Great American Novelist. But maybe they’re wrong. Maybe, just maybe, the Great American Novelist is a woman’ Herald
