A review by charlottekaas
Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates

5.0

This took forever to read, but I wish it had taken longer. It was wonderful and soul-shattering and now I don't know what to do.
I knew almost nothing about Marilyn Monroe before, and having an interest in her is absolutely not required to enjoy this tour de force. One reviewer calls it "a siren shriek against the commodification of women through the decades" and that's all you need to know. Just read it, for god's sake.
