A: a novel

Uittreksel

A: a Novel - Warhol's answer to Ulysses, published in 1968 - is the verbatim transcription of a series of taped conversations between the author and actor Ondine. The typescripts (courtesy of four typists including Velvet Underground drummer Mo Tucker who excised all swear words) were themselves faithfully reproduced down to the last typo and abbreviation. The outcome is largely unreadable, in the same way that Warhol's films are largely unwatchable.
