Über den Autor


Jean Stein's father, Jules, founded MCA and she grew up in the golden years of Hollywood. At Jean's coming-out party, Judy Garland sang 'Over the Rainbow'; later she had an affair with William Faulkner, became an editor at The Paris Review, and was Elia Kazan's assistant on Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Immersed in the demi-monde of New York, she was close to Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground, and to Warhol's muse - Edie Sedgewick - about whom Lou Reed wrote 'Femme Fatale' and Jean Stein wrote Edie (1982). That book became an international best-seller, of which Norman Mailer wrote: 'This is the book of the Sixties that we have been waiting for.'
