Alfonso Signorini With this book turns the life of Marilyn Monroe in a novel. Starting from birth up to the death, the author goes through all the stages of the life of the American actress most famous and beloved of all time: the troubled childhood marked by a psychopathic mother and a grandmother, the orphanage, violence sexual, the fast rise to success, the three marriages, the escapades with fellow actors, abortion, the love affair with John Kennedy, depression, suicide. Signorini focuses on the emotional life of Marilyn, by analyzing its way of life love, the love denied since early age, love implored, deluded, failed. Marilyn seeking fame exclusively in order to feel loved by the people of the world. The idea of \u200b\u200ba fictional biography is always interesting, but the result depends on how into practice. If the defects of this book are many, perhaps too many. The style is simple-minded, the language borders on the ridiculous, the dialogues are banal and shocking more often vulgar (that is never once used the phrase "make love" instead of "fuck" ...), some share the rules of punctuation should be to hell. The reader may feel "disoriented" because of the absence of a chronology of events described and may tend to forget that we are talking about an actress, because very little space is devoted to the career of Marilyn, his films, his environment. In addition, some significant events in the life of Monroe are just touched upon others even ignored. The psychological drama and fragility that the diva hiding behind the smile are addressed here without a hint of delicacy and poetry. The image of Marilyn that comes out is that of a woman frivolous, superficial, opportunistic, sleazy, dirty even. It materializes as the image of the blonde doll and without brain a role that Marilyn was often forced to pray on the set, but against which he then had to fight to ensure that it becomes the label. A distorted and annoying especially for someone like myself, loves Marilyn and is well documented on her.
Another flaw of this book is the lack of a bibliography. In my opinion, when you draw up the biography of a famous person should cite the sources from which they draw information to prove that what is written is not the whole truth and documented by the writer's imagination. It is a matter of intellectual honesty, of self-respect, toward the person we are talking about and to the reader, is a way of giving more confidence to it. Even the images that accompany the text does not have anything exceptional od'inedito: These are photos of Marilyn known to almost everyone, including the first ones that jump out doing a quick search on Google Images.
In short, all too arranged, all too rushed. A little 'I'm sorry for Alfonso Signorini because I am convinced that behind the mask hides the view airhead an intelligent person and a journalist in the leg. He could prove it through Books like this one. A missed opportunity. The feeling that you have read this book is to have in your hands one of those gossip magazines that Signorini is the director for years. A reading from the beach.
