First published in 1925, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes introduced a lasting archetype in Lorelei Lee - a totally uninhibited clever blonde well aware of the power she wields over men.

Every escapade of the pragmatic career girl is told through Lorelei’s delirious diary (complete with dicey spelling and tortured grammar). Follow along as she and her hard-boiled friend Dorothy bounce from hometown Little Rock to Hollywood, crisscross Europe from Paris to London to Vienna, and fall into the arms of flush benefactors, libidinous lawyers, and marriage-minded millionaires.

A runaway bestseller, Anita Loos’s comic gem made its author as iconic a figure of the Jazz Age as her charmingly daft heroine. Edith Wharton proclaimed Loos’s story “the great American novel.”

Revised edition: Previously published as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, this edition of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
