Articoli correlati a Edie: An American Biography
Born into a wealthy New England family, Edie Sedgwick became, in the 1960s, both an emblem of, and a memorial to, the doomed world spawned by Andy Warhol. Edie was outrageous, vulnerable and strikingly beautiful. Her childhood was dominated by a brutal but glamouros father. Fleeing to New York, she became an instant celebrity, kown to everyone in the literary, artistic and fashionable worlds of the day. She was Warhol's twin soul, his creature, the superstar of his films and, finally, the victim of a life which he created for her.
Edie is an American fable on an epic scale - the story of a short, crowded and vivid life which is also the story of the decade.

Recensione:
"Edie Sedgwick was the spirit of the Sixties, and these pages capture her power to dazzle us. I have read no social history to compare with it. While it is not a novel (although it reads like one) I still will say: This is the book of the Sixties that we have been waiting for" (Norman Mailer)
"An exceptionally seductive biography... You can't put it down... It has novelistic excitement" (Los Angeles Times Book Review)
"Extraordinary... a fascinating narrative that is both meticulously reported and expertly orchestrated" (The New York Times)
"Jean Stein and George Plimpton have made such a good job of it that the effect is of a novel illuminating a wide spectrum of Americana" (George Melly New Society)
"Through a kaleidoscope of seemingly fragmented voices, patterns form, giving brilliant definition to the very American tragedy of Edie Sedgwick, a woman...not likely to be forgotten after this haunting portrait" (Publishers Weekly)
