ALL THE AVAILABLE LIGHT:
A Marilyn Monroe Reader
(Touchstone, 2002)
Yona Zeldis McDonough, Editor
No star in any genre has affected the world as deeply or has lasted as long without fading as Marilyn Monroe. This thought-provoking and wide-ranging collection of essays examines the undiminished incandescence of Marilyn Monroe—the impact she has had on our culture, the evolution of her legend since her death, and what she tells us now about our lives and times—and includes previously unpublished work from some of America’s best writers, such as: Joyce Carol Oates, Alice Elliot Dark, Albert Mobilo, Marge Piercy, Lore Segal, Lisa Shea, and many more. From her troubled family beginnings to the infamous $13 million auction held at Christie’s in New York City, All the Available Light paints an unforgettable portrait of Marilyn as you’ve never seen her before.
