12021-01-22T15:58:08+00:00Harold MacGrath2plain2021-01-22T16:05:13+00:00Harold MacGrath (sometimes spelled "McGrath" in newspapers) was a writer of popular novels including mysteries and spy novels, and his stories were sometimes adapted as plays and silent films. A notable intertext for Blondes may be his novel and subsequent film, The Yellow Typhoon. The title's use of Asian stereotypes of the "yellow peril" ties the setting of the first section, the Philippines, to a blond woman who destroys the lives of a series of men, which was the centerpiece of the film's advertising.
