Overview

The beautiful Lorelei Lee leaves her hometown of Little Rock and takes Europe by storm. Hiding behind a veil of naivete, Lorelei coos, coaxes, and rearranges the pawns of high society until everything works out for the best (read: she marries a millionaire of good moral standing). Along the way, Anita Loos ridicules flapper culture, censorship, the US government, the film industry, racism, chauvinism, consumerism, psychoanalysis and Hollywood. And the book is still laugh-out-loud funny.
