 Wonderful Book!

Yes! Wonderful book! I just finished reading it, and I enjoyed it immensely. Not only did I learn a lot about Andy Warhol, but I learned a lot about the times in which he lived. There's much information about Warhol's life as a gay man, about his loves and lovers. I learned what Warhol's life was like while he was growing up in Pittsburgh. And, when he moved to New York City, I learned about what was going on in the arts there -- and around the world, too -- during the 1950s through the late 1980s (Warhol died February 22, 1987). Blake Gopnik has a friendly, thoughtful, very engaging writing style. He provides many personal and professional details about the lives of Warhol and his friends and colleagues. Great book!  Warhol by Blake Gopnik. I'm glad I read it.  Highly recommend! --Carl Miller Daniels
