My 1980s and Other Essays door Wayne Koestenbaum
read only bits incl. chapter on Lana Turner.
More a poem than a novel. Really nice turns of phrase and a unique subject trapped in a crappy story about nothing told by a narrator who we have no reason to root for. The only emotional channel into Theo is his choice of pieces for the Aigues-Mortes program.
Koestenbaum veers wildly from incredible insight on Warhol's life, work, and career to tedious intellectual wankery -- often two or three times in the course of a page. Sometimes it's fascinating, and sometimes you can do nothing but roll your eyes.
