Book
Black dahlia & white rose : [stories] / Joyce Carol Oates.
A collection of eleven stories exploring the slippage between fantasy and everyday life, the commingling of sexual love and violence, and the complexity of family life.
From the title story, which maps the friendship between two beautiful and mysteriously doomed young women in 1940s Los Angeles - Elizabeth Short, known as the 'Black Dahlia,' victim of a long-unsolved and particularly brutal murder, and her roommate Norma Jeane Baker, soon to become Marilyn Monroe, to the tale of the wife of a well-to-do businessman who is ravished by, and elopes with, a lover who is a hyena.
