Review title: Reckless, over-wrought novel
Product review: It's been almost two months since I read this truly awful book, and the sense of it still lingers with me like an after-taste--those horrifying scenes of sexual brutalization that Oates makes up for her fictional Norma Jeane/Marilyn Monroe; those endless ruminations on God-knows-what, rambling, incoherent; those mean-spirited passages that pretend to be Norma Jeane's judgement of herself, but are, of course, Oates' judgement of Norma Jeane. Based on what? Oates owes her fans an apology, for allowing this reckless, over-wrought book to go out like this; didn't an editor see it? Is Ms. Oates so beyond reproach (but why?) that no one cautioned her about this disaster? I can't think of another book so messy in every way.
