Norman Mailers profusely illustrated novel biography of Marilyn Monroe sparked a furor on publication for setting the facts of her life and career within the contours of what he describes as a literary hypothesis of a possible Marilyn Monroe who might actually have lived and fit most of the facts. To famed critic Pauline Kael, with Marilyn , even at its most outlandish, Mailer understands how Hollywood uses its starlets and how Monroe the star might have reacted to that usage Though its a bumpy ride, the book still goes like a streak. His writing is close to the pleasures of movies You read him with a heightened consciousness because his performance has zing.

Its the star system in literature; you can feel him bucking for the big time, and when he starts flying its so exhilarating you want to applaud (New York Times). Issued the same year as a first.
