A bold and uncensored fictional account of the wild life at Andy Warhol’s world-famous Factory by a real-life superstar who witnessed it all
Author, video artist, underground film actor, and superstar, the incomparable Viva is arguably the most famous of Andy Warhol’s protégés, a mainstay at the enigmatic artist’s Factory. In her riveting, revelatory, totally uncensored, and scandalously entertaining novel, the Factory doors are blown wide open, exposing a world of sex, drugs, and genius.
Based on Viva’s own life, Superstar is the story of Gloria, a repressed, convent-educated aspiring artist who escapes the strictures of her stifling existence and flees to New York City. Falling in with an iconic artist referred to as A. and his coterie of outrageous, beautiful avant-garde acolytes, transvestites, boy toys, and hangers-on, Gloria is reborn, undergoing a remarkable transformation from sheltered young innocent to sexual athlete, film star, and media darling. Over the course of her reawakening, she sheds her every inhibition as she experiences what ordinary people only dream about in their most secret fantasies . . . or worst nightmares.
Though the names have all been changed, the real stars of Warhol’s factory are scandalously recognizable. Viva injects her own unique style and personality into a story at once outrageous and brutally honest the unforgettable making of a superstar.

Superstar A Novel edition by Viva Literature Fiction eBooks
This book begins wonderfully with Viva's superb evocation of what it was like to grow up Catholic in upstate NY, and then follows her to the big city where her objective view of the Warhol world is enormously revealing. She is a part of it all, a star, but she always manages to stand aside as an intelligent observer.However, when in later chapters all she is doing is transcribing tape recordings, her great charm soon disappears, and we are asked to witness what happens when a first rate mind gets into drugs and other stupidities. A disappointing book and ultimately a disappointing life. We expect more of someone who's started off with so much more than most.Product details
