Blonde (novel)
''Blonde'' is a bestselling 2000 historical novel by Joyce Carol Oates that chronicles the inner life of Marilyn Monroe, though Oates insists that the novel is a work of fiction that should not be regarded as a biography. It was a finalist of the Pulitzer Prize (2001) and the National Book Award (2000).〔(National Book Review Preview: ) November 04, 2000〕 ''Rocky Mountain News'' and ''Entertainment Weekly'' have listed ''Blonde'' as one of Joyce Carol Oates's best books,〔Davis, Duane. ("Joyce Carol Oates for dummies" ), ("Where to start" ), ("Onto the novels" ) (series of articles), The Rocky Mountain News, 2003-06-13. Retrieved on 2008-10-29.〕〔("Book News: Daily Oates Consumption" ), Entertainment Weekly, 2007-07-06.

==Length and editing==
At over 700 pages, ''Blonde'' is Oates' longest work of fiction. In an interview she said, "I intended it to be a novella, somewhere around 175 pages, and the last words would have been 'Marilyn Monroe.' But over time, I got so caught up in her world that I couldn't stop there. The final result was this book. The first draft was, originally, longer than the version that was finally published. Some sections were shortened while others had to be surgically removed from the book. Those sections will be published separately."〔Oates, Joyce Carol. ''The Faith of a Writer: Life, Craft, Art.'' New York: Ecco, 2003.〕
