’Nobody has ever caught Marilyn more brilliantly in words than Oates’ Sunday Times ‘This masterpiece about Marilyn Monroe’s life is audacious, gripping and clever. A meditation on fame, exile and lovelessness, but most importantly a siren shriek against the commodification of women through the decades’ Rose Tremain ‘A fabulous reinvention of the life of a fabulous reinvention, and a cracking page-turner to boot’ Evening Standard ‘A torrentially imaginative, compulsively readable tour de force’ Sunday Telegraph ‘A mighty – and a mesmerizing – book’ Elaine Showalter, Literary Review ‘If you haven’t read Joyce Carol Oates before, start here, and now’ Julie Myerson, Independent ‘Blonde is an epic achievement, a masterpiece, a piece of art so shatteringly well-conceived and lavishly-wrought that at times it almost does not seem like a mere book’ Independent on Sunday ‘Novelists such as John Updike, Philip Roth, Tom Wolfe and Norman Mailer slug it out for the title of the Great American Novelist. But maybe they’re wrong. Maybe, just maybe, the Great American Novelist is a woman’ Herald

the classic novel about Marilyn Monroe, now a major Netflix film • The ultimate American novel by the ultimate American writer • Major submission for retail promotions • Brilliantly reviewed in hardback: ’This is a fine piece of work, written with something of the frantic inspiration with which Monroe’s life was lived. If you haven’t read Joyce Carol Oates before, start here, and now.’ The Independent ’A torrentially imaginative, compulsively readable tour de force… Blonde brings this nearly mythic tale triumphantly and terribly to psychological life.’ Sunday Telegraph Competition: we were the mulvaneys;carthage;lessons in chemistry;where the crawdads sing;how to kill your family;to paradise;trust;house of fortune;still life;tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. bonnie garmus;delia owens;bella mackie;hanya yanagihara;hernan diaz;jessie burton;sarah winman;gabrielle zevin;doerr
