Description:(Suggested for Mature Audiences) The story begins with Marilyn Monroe in a rhinestone saturated pinkish, sheer, long dress, singing “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” at Madison Square Garden.But this is Anna Karena's story of her pursuit of free-love and intimacy, an affaire d'amour. Anna befriends two men, Nick and Ethan, both connected with the art world of the early 1960s. Anna's narrative is one of romance and music, drugs and betrayal, and is set against the backdrop of Pop art and Andy Warhol. Anna's obsession with Marilyn Monroe leads her to undertake a complete makeover in the hands of Tweetie, a clairvoyant, palm reading, hairdresser. With forays into music clubs in Greenwich Village usually with both her lovers, to taverns and to watering holes, Anna elicits stares, and whistles as Monroe. At a Taylor Mead poetry reading, a transvestite grabs her crotch and is surprised she is the real thing: a woman. The novel at times is episodic, as a roommate attempts to poison Anna with plant leaves mixed into to her breakfast of waffles and strawberries. Nick her one lover is a druggie, who spreads happiness and semen among various ladies; Ethan, the other lover an art critic is an anxious lover, who pushes his career to higher levels.
