First edition of Joyce Carol Oates' Blonde: A Novel; signed by her
First edition of the Oates' classic work chronicling the inner life of Marilyn Monroe. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by the author on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Marc Cohen. Jack photograph from the archives of Milton H. Greene. Author photograph by Marion Ettlinger.
With fresh insights into the heart of a celebrity culture hypnotized by its own myths, Blonde is a sweeping novel about the elusive magic of a woman, the lasting legacy of a star, and the heartbreak behind the creation of the most evocative icon of the twentieth century. Blonde was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize (2001) and the National Book Award (2000). Oates noted that it is one of the two books (along with 1969's Them) for which she thinks she will be remembered and a film adaptation has been under discussion, to be written and directed by Australian filmmaker Andrew Dominik and starring Jessica Chastain as Marilyn Monroe.
