Anna Strasberg, the widow of Monroe’s friend Lee Strasberg had inherited the diaries, after her death in 1962. Lee was her acting instructor, too.

The book called “Fragments,” also conveys Monroe’s frustration with being cast as a sex object. Some among the clarification were jotted from as early as 1943, though the most were penned from 1951 to 1962. The diary conveys her actual inside and also reveals her intellectual and literary aspects, which many people were unaware of.

“There is a certain melancholy tone throughout the book, and what is very wonderful in some of the clarification is the way you see the association between thoughts, even if they are reasonably scattered all over the page,” says the editor at Editions du Seuil.

“They go in all directions and it can be sometimes reasonably trying to find order within the fragments,” adds the director.

When questioned about Monroe’s writing, he said, “I reckon that not only did she delight in, but she also felt the need to enter, to sort out her life and try to place down the extremely acute feelings that she could have in reaction to certain situations.”

“She was a fantastic reader and someone with real writing flair. There are fragments of poetry that are really reasonably wonderful, lines that stop you in your tracks,” says Courtney Hodell, an executive editor at the US Publishing House.
