About the book

Anita Loos's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a sparkling comic novel narrated by Lorelei Lee, a beautiful young woman whose apparent innocence hides a keen understanding of wealth, status and the weaknesses of the men around her. Through Lorelei's diary, the reader follows her adventures among businessmen, aristocrats and admirers in America and Europe. Loos uses her deceptively simple narrator to satirise romance, materialism and fashionable society, creating one of the most entertaining comic works of the 1920s.
