Publisher Description
One of the most popular novels released in the 1920s on the hedonistic Jazz Age, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was declared the great American novel by Edith Wharton. Told from the point of view of a blonde flapper named Lorelei in the form of her diary, this novel follows her adventures around the world in search of a gentleman companion who can elevate her position within society. As Lorelei cycles through multiple men, she discovers things about herself and the way that she lives her life in retrospection—while also chronicling her changing moods and petty disputes with her brunette companion, Dorothy. Hilarious and a true classic, this revered novel transcends decades and continues to be relatable in this day and age.

About Anita Loos
Anita Loos (1889–1981) was an American novelist, screenwriter, and actress. Born in California, she started her career as an actress, but even from a young age she contributed pieces to various periodicals and ended up becoming a professional screenwriter by the age of twenty. She married the writer-director John Emerson in 1919, and together they began writing and producing their own films. Loos is best known for her novel Gentleman Prefer Blondes, which inspired a play, two musicals, and two films, and was translated into fourteen languages.
