Swimming underground

by Mary Woronov

Biography & Memoir

1995

Swimming Underground is Mary Woronov's candid account of her years spent in the Factory with Andy Warhol. It is not the usual rose-colored story of America's legendary icon. This is the startling flip side of that icon, where drugs, perverse sex, and distorted reality were the norm.
