Marilyn: The Passion and the ParadoxA&C Black, 2 aug. 2012 - 528 pagini 'An excellent book ... fascinating.' Telegraph 'A revelatory and intelligent tribute' Good Housekeeping ______________________________ Lois Banner's biography is revelatory. Banner had access to material about Marilyn Munroe that no one else has seen, from a trove of personal papers to facts and anecdotes about her childhood and her death. Banner traces the eleven foster homes Marilyn went to, uncovering the sexual abuse she suffered and her bisexuality. She is also the first biographer to read Monroe's psychiatric records, revealing a woman deeply rooted in paradox. No biographer before has attempted to analyse - much less realise - most of these aspects of her personality. Lois Banner has. ______________________________ 'Banner gives us a powerful portrayal of a savvy self-publicist who worked tirelessly to ensure her trajectory from glamour model to screen goddess' Frances Wilson, Sunday Telegraph 'Book of the Week |
