around his legendary art studio it begins with the actor Ondine popping pills then follows a
cast of thinly-disguised superstars musicians and prima donnas as they run riot through
Manhattan. A knowing response to James Joyce's Ulysses using the freewheeling spontaneous
techniques as Warhol's visual art this filthy funny book is a uniquely creative insight into
Factory life. 'Hellish hymns from Amphetamine Heaven the vox populi of the Velvet Underground
