Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe

There are many Marilyns: sex goddess and innocent child, crafty manipulator and dumb blonde, screen legend and Hollywood victim. In this incisive and subtle book, Sarah Churchwell looks at how the stories we tell have trivialised a woman we supposedly adore, and at what they reveal about our attitudes towards sex symbols and icons, to women, death, biography and Marilyn herself.

Exista multe Marilyns: zeita sexuala si copil nevinovat, manipulator siret si blond prost, legenda de ecran si victima de la Hollywood. In aceasta carte incisiva si subtila, Sarah Churchwell se uita la modul in care povestile pe care le spunem au banalizat o femeie pe care se presupune ca o adoram si la ceea ce dezvaluie despre atitudinile noastre fata de simbolurile si icoanele sexuale, fata de femei, moarte, biografie si insasi Marilyn.
