About the Book

Veinte años de una de las novelas biográficas más emocionantes:
la vida de Marilyn Monroe contada por Joyce Carol Oates.

Uno de los 40 libros imprescindibles escritos por mujeres según Elena Ferrante

«Oates es una de nuestras autoras favoritas, [...] indestructible, [...] una tipa absolutamente genial. Me gusta mucho, es buenísima, tiene una mirada super lúcida y tremenda; también me gusta mucho el mito de Marilyn, del éxito destructivo. [...] El libro es fantástico, como todo lo que hace ella.» -Carlos Zanón, Babelia, El País

Marilyn Monroe era puro fuego, sexualidad a flor de piel, romances turbulentos, pero también era una mujer frágil, asustada y repleta de inseguridades que buscaba en otros -en el Ex Deportista, en el Dramaturgo o en el Presidente- ese amor que ella misma se negaba. Una artista superdotada cargada de conflictos, temores y pasiones desatadas; una niña que no dejó de huir hacia delante y que llegó a burlar a la propia muerte para convertirse en leyenda. Tras una exhaustiva documentación, Joyce Carol Oates redibuja la vida interior de Norma Jeane Baker -la pequeña sin padre, la mujer dependiente de tranquilizantes y estimulantes, la actriz y amante malograda- y a su «Amiga Mágica del Espejo», la rubia idolatrada a la que el mundo llegó a conocer como Marilyn Monroe.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An extraordinary portrait of Marilyn Monroe.

From acclaimed writer Joyce Carol Oates, the author of The Gravedigger's Daughter.
An impressive and heartbreaking portrait of Norma Jeane Baker, better known as Marilyn Monroe, by one of the best North American writers.

Marilyn Monroe was pure fire, raw sexuality, turbulent romances; but she was also fragile, a scared woman full of insecurities that sought in others - the Former Athlete, the Playwright or the President - the love that she denied herself. An emblematic artist ladened with conflicts and fears, with unleashed passion; a girl who did not stop fleeing forward, and ended up cheating her own death to become a legend.

After exhaustive documentation, Joyce Carol Oates redraws the inner life of Norma Jeane Baker - the little fatherless girl, the woman dependent on tranquilizers and stimulants, the ill-fated actress and lover - and her Magic Friend in the Mirror, the idolized blonde that the world came to know as Marilyn Monroe.
