内容説明
She was riveting to look at, a sprite of the zeitgeist, the living distillation of the over-amped vision of New York in the mid-sixties. Like many exotic creatures that Andy Warhol shed his light on, she initially bloomedbecame the symbol for all that was hip and stylishand just as quickly began to disintegrate. Told with unsparing candor, and with images that capture her at the peak of her Factory stardom, Edie Factory Girl is the short but enduring cultural story of Edie Sedgwickreleasing in time for the film of the same name starring Sienna Miller, and including rare photos of Miller as Edie.
David Dalton was just a teen when he became one of Warhol’s first assistants, and was present for the arrival of Edie: witnessing her rise, her Factory superstardom, and subsequent unraveling. Like an anthropologist thrown together with a tribe of “wild” people, Nat Finkelstein entered the Factory just as Warhol was emerging as the supreme catalyst of the sixties. Among the freaky menagerie, Nat found Andy’s misbegotten princess the most fascinating and enigmatic character of her time, and with a compassionate lens recorded her fragile, fleeting beauty. Edie Factory Girl is a privileged glimpse into Warhol’s inner sanctum, via revealing interviews with intimates, friends, and scenesters, in which Edie orbits around the likes of Bob Dylan, Salvador Dali, Betsey Johnson, Lou Reed, Judy Garland, and many more, before departing as quickly as she came.

DAZZLING - JUST LIKE EDIE
2006/12/9
形式:ハードカバー
it's difficult to assess in a literary manner a book about edie sedgwick, because like her life, all works about her come through as fragmented/torn in pieces/collage-type depictions. it's only because edie's life really was like such. i had the book for a week before i started to read it and associate the text with images. i think david dalton did an admirable job of capturing the nature of edie's lightning flash through life, in and out of warhol and dylan, icons of the era, because it was like that, david was a witness, as were the commentators in the book, including myself. the book layout is helter-skelter, and so was edie's life. love it or leave it, the book is a faithful impression. it's not for criticism, it's to have for a midnight snack before being unable to sleep. all in all i can say if you want a real taste of edie sedgewick in the mid-sixties, this is it. billy name.

If nothing else worth it for most of the photos alone
2007/3/3
形式:ハードカバー
Each page has a gorgeous full color photo or photos of Edie, some of which I have never seen before but most of them I have in other books. A lot of the color photos also appear in Nat Finkelstein's The Factory Years which gives a greater photographic over view of "the factory". The pages are thick and glossy and technicolored like a Warhol painting and the font, utilizing many different font sizes in one paragraph, can be a bit challeging to read. The text is primarily a rehash of snippets from George Plimptons Edie: An American Biography which is far superior in content and photos although all of the photos are black and white. Over all a nicely done tribute to a fascinating and tragic person but more of a photo album/coffee table book than a biography. A definite must for any Edie fan.

Factory Girl revealed...
2006/12/12
形式:ハードカバー
A friend got me this book as a gift. It is filled with very authentic and stylish photographs. The writing is frank and honest - and I'm sure for that fact alone, certain fans will be uncomfortable with this gritty portrait of Edie Sedgewick. Still, the images and text seem to capture a loss of innocence. The sense of psychadelic drug-enduced desperation is visceral - almost reminiscent of MIDNIGHT COWBOY. I have seen Nat Finkelstein's other books and would say that this is some of his best work. I'm not usually a fan of the coffee table genre, but this sizeable tome would do any Charles Eames bench proud.
