As It Turns OutAs It Turns Out

"The story of model, actress, and American icon Edie Sedgwick, told by her sister with unfailing empathy, sharp insight, and firsthand observations of her whirlwind life"--
Wohl's brother Bobby died in a motorcycle accident in 1965, just before their sister Edie Sedgwick met Andy Warhol. After coming across Edie's image in a clip from Warhol's film Outer and Inner Space, Wohl was moved to put her inner dialogue with Bobby on the page in an attempt to reconstruct Edie's life and figure out what made Edie and Andy such iconic figures in American culture. As Wohl seeks to understand the conjunction of Edie and Andy, she creates a meditation addressed to her brother about their sister, about the girl behind the magnetic image, and about the culture she and Warhol introduced. -- adapted from jacket
