Edie

Jean Stein and George Plimpton

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Edie by Jean Stein and George Plimpton is a biography of an iconic figure in the 1960s art movement – known for being the star in many of Andy Warhol's short films, Edie Sedwick led a life beyond imagining.

What George Says: “The life story of Edie Sedgwick, told by way of a beautifully edited collection of reminiscences about her that sometimes contradict.”

What They Say: "Jean Stein invented a form that many have tried to replicate since: the oral history biography. The voices in these pages give a sentimental education that is glamorous, dark, sexy, depraved, comical, and profound. Edie maps the follies and glories of an entire era – the Warhol 1960s” - Rachel Kushner, LA Times
