UN RELATO AUTOBIOGR FICO REVELADOR SOBRE EL MUNDO DEL ARTE Y LA VANGUARDIA EN EL QUE MARY WORONOV, CONSIDERADA EL EQUIVALENTE LITERARIO DE DAVID LYNCH, NOS SUMERGE EN EL LADO M S OSCURO DEL C RCULO DE WARHOL Y LA F BRICA «Borra de un plumazo el resto de libros que hay sobre Warhol. Hac a tiempo que no le a algo tan monstruoso y divertido . -John Waters Swimming Underground: Mis a os en la F brica Warhol es el relato de Mary Woronov, superviviente del per odo de la F brica de Andy Warhol a finales de los a os sesenta. Seducida por el glamour decadente de la escena que giraba en torno al artista, Woronov dej la universidad, apareci en numerosas pel culas de serie B, actu en varias ocasiones con The Velvet Underground y se sumergi en la cultura de la droga que imperaba en el Nueva York m s marginal. En este libro la protagonista arrastra al lector a un viaje surrealista en el que reflfleja de primera mano su fascinaci n por este c rculo de artistas (Lou Reed, Nico, Gerard Malanga, Ondine), por las drag queens de la F brica, las fiestas y los excesos. Viajamos con ella desde el entusiasmo inicial por pertenecer a esta contracultura hipster hasta la absoluta p rdida del control debido a su adicci n a las anfetaminas: estas memorias fren ticas son un retrato veraz de una poca desde el punto de vista de alguien que lo vivi intensamente y desde dentro. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe author recounts her experiences as part of Andy Warhol's infamous inner circle and shares her thoughts on her personal life and career. Actress, author & figurative painter Mary Woronov arrived in Warhol's Factory on a college school trip and never went home. Swimming Underground is the story of the years she spent there in a cavalcade of creative outcasts and over-the-edge experiences. All the taboos that reigned in the early sixties were taken as sign posts through a narcotic, erotic and destructive urban haze, showing the way to violent discovery. The personal costs were extremely high, but Woronov faces them all with brutal honesty. How did Warhol get started? This is the book that will tell you. "Mary Woronov's terrifying and wonderfully written memoir is a sort of "Naked Brunch" that knocks all the other Warhol books off the shelf. It's the scariest, funniest read in a long, long time," John Waters.
