The "exceptionally seductive biography" of the 1960s icon as told by those who knew her (Los Angeles Times Book Review).
In the 1960s, actress and model Edie Sedgwick exploded into the public eye like a comet. She seemed to have it all: she was aristocratic and glamorous, vivacious and young, Andy Warhol's superstar. But within a few years she flared out as quickly as she had appeared, and before she turned twenty-nine she was dead from a drug overdose.
In a dazzling tapestry of voices -- family, friends, lovers, rivals -- the entire meteoric trajectory of Edie Sedgwick's life is brilliantly captured. And so is the Pop Art world of the '60s: the sex, drugs, fashion, music -- the mad rush for pleasure and fame. All glitter and flash on the outside, it was hollow and desperate within -- like Edie herself, and like her mentor, Andy Warhol. Alternately mesmerizing, tragic, and horrifying, this book shatters many myths about the '60s experience in America.
"This is the book of the Sixties that we have been waiting for." -- Norman Mailer
