The biography of Marilyn Monroe fifty years after

Usually biographies follow a rather predictable if boring literary format. The facts are presented in strict chronological order and the reader then is supposed to realize why that person has earned a special place in history. However this new biography of Marilyn Monroe immediately shocks us because it uses a free flowing stream of consciousness language presented in two plays and a narrative. Beautifully written by the author/daughter, the result is to increase our empathy and understanding of both mother and daughter.(less)
