Marilyn Monroe was dead from an overdose-an apparent suicide. Dr. Ralph Greenson, her psychoanalyst, friend, and confessor, was the last person to see her alive and the first to find her dead.
This acclaimed novel brilliantly recreates Marilyn's final years through her sessions on Dr. Greenson's couch. The doctor's intimate relationship with the world's most famous and elusive actress reveals her glamorous Hollywood life, surrounded by the likes of Arthur Miller, Truman Capote, and John Huston.
A remarkable piece of storytelling,Marilyn's Last Sessionsilluminates one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century, "so authentically that you often forget this is simply an imagined version of the last four years of her life" (Psychologies).媒体推荐"Michel Schneider's book is marvellous and insightful, a real vision of human delicacy, and one of the international novels of the year." (Andrew O'Hagan, author ofThe Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe)
"Michel Schneider breathes life into the complex and fascinating relationship between Marilyn Monroe and Ralph Greenson, creating an intimate, inventive and heartbreaking novel in which psychoanalysis and the movies are brilliantly intertwined." (Hanif Kureishi, author ofSomething to Tell You)
"An insightful depiction of one of Hollywood's most enigmatic icons.... Artfully entwining fact and storytelling, Schneider captures the great schism that existed between the exuberant sex symbol projected on screen and the fragile, troubled woman that existed when the cameras weren't rolling....A totally riveting read." (France Magazine(5 stars))
