Sinossi

The first in a three-part oral history introducing the members of Andy Warhol’s inner circle and their world of art, parties, drugs, and drama. In the first volume of this fascinating oral history based on her documentary Andy Warhol’s Factory People—now available from libraries via the Kanopy streaming service—Catherine O’Sullivan Shorr illuminates the early years of Andy Warhol’s Factory scene through interviews with the artist’s collaborators, close friends, and many associates who became superstars. Frustrated with advertising work, Warhol set up his legendary studio in 1962 in an abandoned hat factory on Manhattan’s 47th Street. Rechristened and redecorated as the “Silver Factory,” it quickly became the hub of Warhol’s creative endeavors—the place where he constantly worked while an ever-changing cast of characters and muses passed through with their own contributions.   Photos by the Factory’s in-house photographer, Billy Name; candid interviews with Factory veterans like Ultra Violet, Mary Woronov, Taylor Mead, and Gerard Malanga; and discussions with chroniclers of the scene such as Victor Bockris and Henry Geldzahler provide revealing glimpses into life with Warhol. Working with silk-screen images of Marilyn Monroe, Campbell’s soup cans, and Brillo boxes, Warhol pioneered Pop Art during the early 1960s, and O’Sullivan’s assemblage of firsthand accounts expose the eccentric, elusive, and obsessive man behind the iconic art.

    "Tuning In is an affirmation of facing and conquering life’s challenges through the power of connection, creativity, and glorious music." — Michele Flannery, KPFA music director emerita 
    This is an inspiring memoir about a young woman who, abandoned by her father and then her mother, must become an adult at a very young age and deal with her teenage pregnancy. Growing up shy and poor in wealthy Palo Alto, her strength comes from the precious time she spends with her Irish grandmother who follows the old ways in the deep southwest.

    Going on to become a beloved international public radio broadcaster, she embodies courage, imagination, and self-invention, never giving up on her vision of creating a better life for herself and those around her. An honest, moving story of loss, grief, endurance, joy, and creativity, told with an undeniably contagious sense of humor and hope. This down-to-earth and extraordinary journey to wholeness shines a light for struggling artists and creative seekers of all backgrounds.

    In 1987, Tom and Ray Magliozzi, also known as Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers, made the leap from nursing the motley car population of New England to creating the nationally beloved public radio phenomenon that we all know as Car Talk. The advice may be a little suspect, and the memories in desperate need of a tune-up, but the laughs are genuine as Click and Clack look back on an illustrious—if not industrious—25 years of delighting NPR audiences with their wit, wisdom, and occasionally relevant musings on the maintenance of cars. Lovingly compiled by the long-suffering lackeys at Car Talk Plaza, this collection represents the most memorable, most hilarious moments from the show’s vast archives.

    Recklessness, thy name is rock. 
    The age of the rock star, like the age of the cowboy, has passed. Like the cowboy, the idea of the rock star lives on in our imaginations. What did we see in them? Swagger. Recklessness. Sexual charisma. Damn-the-torpedoes self-belief. A certain way of carrying themselves. Good hair. Interesting shoes. Talent we wished we had. What did we want of them? To be larger than life but also like us. To live out their songs. To stay young forever. No wonder many didn't stay the course. 
    In Uncommon People, David Hepworth zeroes in on defining moments and turning points in the lives of forty rock stars from 1955 to 1995, taking us on a journey to burst a hundred myths and create a hundred more. 
    As this tribe of uniquely motivated nobodies went about turning themselves into the ultimate somebodies, they also shaped us, our real lives and our fantasies. Uncommon People isn't just their story. It's ours as well.

    Dueling Banjos: The Deliverance of Drew is a collection of stories of the making of the iconic movie, Deliverance, told from the perspective of one of the four main actors in the film, Ronny Cox, who played the character of Drew. Based on the novel by James Dickey, the movie was filmed in the summer of 1971 and was released the following year in 1972. Forty years later, it remains one of the most recognized films in movie history for being raw, emotional, violent and shocking - yet it leaves a lasting impression of artistic excellence. Ronny has since gone on to appear in over 145 movie and television productions and has had a very successful career as a folk musician, playing in venues all over the country. He also happens to be one of the world's great storytellers. Ronny Cox is often ironically identified with the villains he has played in movies like Total Recall, Robocop, and the ruthless politician in the hit science fiction TV series, Stargate.
    
    Dueling Banjos: The Deliverance of Drew includes great anecdotes about his fellow actors: Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight, and Ned Beatty. Ronny Cox tells the real stories behind the filming of one of the most iconic movies of all time.An Author's Republic audio production.
