What is this book about?
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a landmark satirical novel by Anita Loos. In it we follow the diary entries of Lorelei Lee a blond flapper from Little Rock complete with spelling and grammar errors. What follows is a delightful romp as we discover that Lorelei is anything but a dumb blonde. Her observations on life are witty, humorous, cutting, and outrageous. A classic from the Jazz Age, just as relevant today as when it was first published. Join this delightful gold digger with a heart of gold on her adventures and escapades.
“The great American novel.” – Edith Wharton
