Swimming Underground by Mary Woronov
Swimming Underground is Mary Woronov?s blazing account of her lethal experiences in Andy Warhol?s factory in the late 60s. She takes us on a surreal trip to experience the sights, sounds, moods and decadence of a group of now infamous people (including Ondine, Lou Reed, Nico, Gerard Malanga, International Velvet, Rotten Rita, Billy Name and others...) It?s an amphetamine memoir of lives spinning out of control from an insider who was there at the centre, starring in the films, performing with Lou Reed.
?The best book on Warhol? Lou Reed ?This book is obscenely interesting: absurd, lurid, and grandiose? Observer ?The most accurate account available of life in Andy Warhol?s Factory in the late Sixties.. Woronov spirals into amphetamine psychosis, but at least she got out alive? The Times
Mary lives in LA and is a painter as well as a writer. Her other jobs have been teacher of creative writing, Warhol star in New York, and Hollywood cult queen.
