WARHOL told by WORONOV – Swimming Underground: My time at Andy Warhol's Factory (Mary Woronov Collection Book 1) Details
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 book's off the shelf. It's the scariest , funniest read in a long, long time," John Waters. This e-book edition includes a special collection of essays written by the author on Andy Warhol and unavailable in print editions.

Reviews
She is also the star of my favorite movies. What I love about the writing tho, is her unique ability to explain personal experience and the freaky joy of drug-addled existence, by channeling struggles with ego through vivid, externalized characters. I imagine the scrappy sephirot of Mary's soul the way she tells it. Her writing style does not feel contrived or pretentious like others of this period have to me. I vow to read all she has written, expanding my own imagination with her clever words! Her voice is bold, valid and she is just so eternally cooool! When I saw her at a Chelsea Girls screening in 2014, I wanted to hug her but I didn't. She probably would have hated me:)
