Andy Warhol's first novel, created entirely from recordings made by the artist. "While Andy Warhol himself is one of the major characters of this original, kaleidoscopic work, its hero is Ondine--passionate, hilarious, a perverse seeker of the meaningful in a world peopled by such characters as Rotten Rita, The Sugar Plum Fairy, The Duchess, Billy Name, Irving du Ball, Paul Paul, Taxine, Moxanne, Ingrid Superstar, and other personalities, new and old, in and around the Velvet Underground." --excerpt from dust jacket description.
