Superstar
Viva, 1938-New York : G.P. Putnam's Sons, [1970]"Andy Warhol's shining Superstar lays bare the freak, hip world, the world of outrageous, easy sex and abundant drugs, of the beautiful and the avant-garde. Here is a comic, poignant, anti intellectual, American existential tale of Gloria, the Superstar: early childhood in a convent school, forbidden intimations of sexuality, disturbing realizations of American hypocrisy, Paris, New York, Hollywood, underground film stardom, psycho-sexual obsessions, drugs, orgies, sensational experiences with the great and the near great. Viva's straightforward, sometimes brutally perceptive personality penetrates to the essence of these worlds and brings them vividly to life through a mixed bag of techniques: frank narration, taped conversations, outrageous "pillow talk," dreams, journal entries, letters. Shocking, outspoken, incredibly honest, there has never been a novel like Superstar."--Dust jacket.
