She was our angel, the sweet angel of sex, and the sugar of sex flowed from her like the sound resonance of the finest veins of a violin. On five continents, the most experienced lovers coveted her, and for her also beat the typical pimples of the teenager who just found his first job at a gas station, since Marilyn was liberation, a true Stradivarius of sex, so dazzling, indulgent, comic, accommodating, and tender that even the most mediocre musician compensated for his lack of art with the evanescent magic of his violin.” This is how this unforgettable portrait of one of the great icons of the 20th century begins—and continues, without losing momentum—an extraordinary actress who shone with her own light in some milestones of American cinema such as \"Some Like It Hot,\" \"The Seven Year Itch,\" \"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,\" or \"The Misfits,\" before fading and disappearing at only 36 years old. What was initially supposed to be a prologue for a large-format book with photographs of Marilyn Monroe commissioned to Norman Mailer—who was already a legend of American literature at the time—became, under the tireless and passionate prism of the master of New Journalism, one of the most intense and unrestrained biographies ever written. This was one of Mailer’s best-selling books—not without controversy, as it suggests that the actress’s death could have been a murder perpetrated from the highest spheres—which we now bring back in a new translation to celebrate the centenary of the actress’s birth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Contra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57128581628248,"sku":"LIB-MA-CO-822","price":22.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788410045392.jpg?v=1776431186"}],"url":"https:\/\/eu.plasticbooks.com\/en\/collections\/libros-norman-mailer.oembed","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
