BOOK 95: EDIE: AMERICAN GIRL – JEAN
STEIN
"Edie Sedgwick was the spirit
of the Sixties, and these pages capture her power to dazzle us. I have read no
social history to compare with it. While it is not a novel (although it reads
like one) I still will say: This is the book of the Sixties that we have been
waiting for" (Norman Mailer)
"Like all American stories,
Edie's is about being born in paradise and then being ejected from it... in
spite of the wealth and fame and catastrophe which seem to make it singular, it
is everyone's" (Peter Conrad Observer)
