In the late 1960s, Pop artist Andy Warhol set out to make an unconventional novel by following a cast of his most famous characters around New York, recording their conversations with his tape recorder. The twenty-four one-hour tapes were transcribed by four women: The Velvet Underground's drummer Maureen Tucker, a Barnard student Susan Pile, and two other young women. Nicole Flattery imagines their lives: precocious and wise beyond their years but still only teenagers.
For readers of Ottessa Moshfegh and Mary Gaitskill.
