Jean Stein's Edie is a groundbreaking oral biography of Edie Sedgwick, the iconic Factory superstar and muse to Andy Warhol. Through interviews with those who knew her, Stein creates a portrait of a brilliant, troubled young woman whose life became inseparable from Warhol's Factory scene. The book becomes both intimate biography and cultural history, exploring fame, addiction, and the cost of being seen.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Stein refuses to reduce Edie to a muse or victim. This oral biography reminds us that Edie was a complex person with her own agency and vision, and that her story deserves to be told with nuance and respect.
