All the Available Light

Editat de Yona Zeldis McDonough
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 aug 2002
No star in any genre has affected the world as deeply or has lasted as long without fading as Marilyn Monroe. This thought-provoking and wide-ranging collection of essays examines the undiminished incandescence of Marilyn Monroe -- the impact she has had on our culture, the evolution of her legend since her death, and what she tells us now about our lives and times -- and includes previously unpublished work from some of America's best writers, such as: Joyce Carol Oates, Alice Elliot Dark, Albert Mobilo, Marge Piercy, Lore Segal, Lisa Shea, and many more.
From her troubled family beginnings to the infamous $13 million auction held at Christie's in New York City, "All the Available Light" paints an unforgettable portrait of Marilyn as you've never seen her before.
This extremely rare cover photo was taken c. 1954, on the set of "The Seven Year Itch."

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.
