The "Writings of Louise Brooks" page on the Louise Brooks Society website has been significantly updated. This page includes Brooks' essays and letters, as well as statements and other miscellaneous literary efforts. If you have read Lulu in Hollywood and think you know Brooks' writings (either published or unpublished), this page will likely prove a revelation.
