Review title: The first great novel of the century?
Product review: A thrilling, exhausting, dizzying reading experience, BLONDE should not be missed. Ignore all the reviews that worry over its factual details as if it were a biography and not a work of the imagination. Oates, of course, has the richest, most detailed, most terrifyingly thorough imagination around and it's likely that we won't need another novel about Hollywood for a lot of years. BLONDE is certainly shocking, but only because its ugliness seems so truthful. It's also a lot of fun to read, creating, at times, a buzz in your head, a kind of high. It messes with you, this book. There's a line at the end of Russel Banks equally great novel, "Continental Drift", that seems to apply to what Oates has accomplished here: "Go, my book and help destroy the world as it is."
