MARILYN MONROE: ON THE COUCH
Book ID/图书代码： 11516013B61776
English Summary/英文概要： There is much written, rumored, told, and retold about Marilyn Monroe, but the most unusual and remarkable fact about her is this: In person as well as in her films, she appeared to be outright luminous – enveloped by a glow, like a firefly in the dark. Even Laurence Olivier, who costarred with Marilyn in the 1957 film The Prince and the Showgirl, saw it. Though he disliked her intensely, he had to admit that, in all her scenes, she lit up the screen.
But as exquisite as it can be, luminosity can be a kind of camouflage. It can hide the truth underneath.
What exactly was Marilyn illuminating in the atmosphere that surrounded her? Her beauty was certainly stunning, dazzling – blinding, even – but what did it hide?
Marilyn, far, far more intelligent than many understood, knew well the difference between looking upon the light and seeing beyond the glow. “Men do not see me,” she said. “They just lay their eyes on me.”
Psychoanalyst and longtime woman’s biographer Dr. Alma Bond imagines, in detail, a several-year stretch during the late 1950s and early 1960s, when Marilyn, an exceedingly fragile figure, desperately submits to analysis on the couch of Manhattan psychoanalyst Dr. Darcy Dale and, following her return to Hollywood, when Marilyn corresponds with her about her doings and her state-of-mind. Brilliantly, entertainingly, and movingly, Marilyn Monroe: On the Couch shows just what lay beneath Marilyn’s radiance. Dr. Dale, a fictional stand-in for author Alma Bond, sees Marilyn as few ever have, both inside and out, and transfers those insights to readers. It’s impossible to imagine anyone providing a better, more complete, more intimate, or more unforgettable understanding of this truly remarkable, iconic, and even pivotal figure in film and sexual history.
