What is Blonde : a Novel about?

<p><P>In this ambitious book, Joyce Carol Oates boldly reimagines the inner, poetic, and spiritual life of Norma Jeane Baker&#8212;the child, the woman, the fated celebrity and idolized blonde the world came to know as Marilyn Monroe. In a voice startling, intimate, and rich, Norma Jeane tells her own story, that of an emblematic American artist&#8212;intensely conflicted and driven&#8212;who has lost her way. A powerful portrait of Hollywood's myth and an extraordinary woman's heartbreaking reality, <i>Blonde</i> is a sweeping epic that pays tribute to the elusive magic and devastation behind the creation of the great twentieth-century American star.</p><h3>Bookpage</h3><p>Jayne Atkinson's performance in this audio presentation adds enormous dimension and depth. Without overacting, without cliche or caricature, she captures Monroe's breathy, hesitating voice and with it captures both the vixen and the victim.</p>
