Здравей, Норма Джийн

by Elisa Jordan, Илайза Джордан, Елена Кодинова (Translator)

Мерилин Монро, която не познавате

Нейният образ е запечатан в съзнанието на милиони фенове по света, а личният ѝ живот и до днес ражда сензационни заглавия. И все пак, макар да е сред най-известните жени в историята, Мерилин Монро остава дълбоко неразбрана и обвита в мистерия.

„Здравей, Норма Джийн“ развенчава митовете и слуховете, за да ни покаже истинската личност зад маската на холивудска прима и поп икона. От хаотичното детство в Лос Анджелис по време на Голямата депресия, през шеметния възход в меката на киното до преждевременната ѝ и трагична смърт – книгата изследва фамилната история на легендарната звезда, детската ѝ любов към екрана, личните ѝ терзания в зряла възраст и неподправения ѝ стремеж към постоянно самоусъвършенстване.

I have to preface that I’m not a huge Marilyn Monroe person. The book peaked my interest because I ‘think’ my one tour guide in CA wrote it so I decided to read it. I learned a lot but did not love the format. At times I felt like I was just studying a text book. With that being said, the amount of research that went into it was huge so I can’t imagine how long it took to compile all the information.

This book has a very unique style which I've never experienced in a book before - it is not written narratively, juts chapters of facts and information like the makeup Marilyn wore, or all the places she lived, or all the movies she was in, etc. My biggest problem is that there are no references or sources listed for all these facts so how are we supposed to trust that this is all true? And even the photos included were either from the author personally or almost all the rest were from Wikimedia. I work in an academic library and it bothers me to read something presented as factual and trustworthy but with no opportunity to check sources or references.

Loved the format of this book, a perfect deep dive into everything before, during and after.

I mean, always a fan of reading Marilyn facts. But that’s exactly what it is: just a book of facts
