Anita Loos’s 1925 satirical masterpiece Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a Jazz Age gem, chronicling the escapades of Lorelei Lee, a delightfully cunning gold-digger whose diary entries skewer materialism, gender roles, and high society with razor-sharp wit. As Lorelei and her friend Dorothy traverse Europe, leaving chaos and smitten men in their wake, Loos crafts both a hilarious romp and a sly critique of patriarchal constraints. The novel’s enduring appeal—spawning sequels, adaptations, and Marilyn Monroe’s iconic film performance—cements its status as a timeless, groundbreaking work that blends humor, social commentary, and irresistible charm.
