by Joyce Carol OatesI don't know why I keep giving Joyce the benefit of the doubt. For one thing, her writing is too much. It's unforgivably verbose. Save it, lady!
This particular gem is a biography of Norma Jean Baker, also known as Marilyn Monroe. If you can handle unnecessary defamation of character and a series of romances, divorces and abortions this may be the book for you.
I read about a hundred pages in bed one morning and was surprised to find that the rest of my day was plagued by melancholy. Source? Could only be one thing--Blonde.
