1. Edie
American Girl
An oral history traces the meteoric rise and tragic fall of a 1960s It Girl and Warhol superstar, weaving voices from family, friends, and artists to chart her privileged upbringing, magnetic charisma, descent into addiction and mental illness, and the cultural forces that made her both an icon and a casualty of the era.
