Norman Mailer has set to recreate the mind, the thoughts, the feelings, the life of Marilyn Monroe, as if she herself were talking in her own recognizable tone of voice, about the most intimate moments of her private life. This portrait of Marilyn is intensified by the startling photographs of her friend, the photographer and movie producer Milton Greene, whose work, in harmony with Mailer's prose, portrays not only the face and figure of Marilyn, but her moods and thoughts and deepest longings, about herself, about women, about sex, about the elusive elegance she sought and never quite found. An imaginary memoir, an as-told-to-do book, a set of interviews that never took place between Marilyn Monroe and Norman Mailer.
