\nGentlemen Prefer Blondes: The Illuminating Di ary of a Professional Lady by Anita Loos
\nOne of the most popu lar novels released in the 1920s on the hedonistic Jazz Age\, Gentleme n Prefer Blondes was declared the great American novel by Edith Whart on. Told from the point of view of a blonde flapper named Lorelei in the f orm of her diary\, this novel follows her adventures around the world in s earch of a gentleman companion who can elevate her position within society .
\n&ldquo\;It could be said\, therefore\, that Loos did not write a version of Beauty and the Beast\; instead\, she rewrote Beauty as the Bea st.&rdquo\; \; &ldquo\;The men who perpetually orbit around Lorelei an d Dorothy have two major problems: they have too much money in their bank accounts and too much time on their hands. Lorelei and Dorothy are able to solve both their problems at once.&rdquo\; Regina Barreca (Introduction\, Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics Edition)
