Description: Sensual, artistic, and cerebral, this volume pairs Norman Mailer's classic book Marilyn with Bert Stern's intimate "last sitting" portfolio to trace the complexity and the allure of an incomparable screen siren. An inspired synthesis of literature and art, this book is a tribute to Monroe's vulnerability, intelligence, and eduring charm.
