It's the bio of Edie Sedgwick but it's as much about her family and the other people in her orbit as it is her...you really feel like you know them personally by the time you're done with it. The coolest thing ever would be if every person on earth could have an oral history of their life like this.

That truly sounds fascinating! I love oral histories, and I'll have to pick it up.
The Cane River is an oral history about four generations of Louisiana slave women and their descendants, and it's really good, too!
