Recenzii
Natalia Ilyin author of "Blonde Like Me: The Roots of the Blonde Myth in Our Culture" "All the Available Light" does what no other book on Marilyn has been able to do: instead of plodding linearly through her facts and myth, pinning her identity under the lightbulb of interrogation, this rich group of essays produces a diffraction pattern, projects a three-dimensional image, delivers her to us like a hologram.
Descriere
Published to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death, this thought-provoking collection of narratives and essays by Joyce Carol Oates, Marge Piercy, Laurence Olivier, and others illuminates a fascinating woman whose influence has reached further and deeper--and lasted longer--than that of any other pop star in history.
