I literally laughed and cried, and cheered hard throughout for our intrepid narrator, who has gifted us an incomparable tale.&”--Maggie Nelson author of The Argonauts and On FreedomA moving and wickedly funny memoir about one woman&’s life as the daughter of a Warhol superstar and the intimate bonds of mother-daughter relationshipsAlexandra Auder&’s life began at the Chelsea Hotel—New York City&’s infamous bohemian hangout—when her mother, Viva, a longtime resident of the hotel and one of Andy Warhol&’s superstars, went into labor in the lobby. These first moments of Alexandra&’s life, documented by her filmmaker father, Michel Auder, portended the whirlwind childhood and teen years that she would go on to have.At the center of it all is Viva: a glamorous, larger-than-life woman with mercurial moods, who brings Alexandra with her on the road from gig to gig, splitting time between a home in Connecticut and Alexandra&’s father&’s loft in 1980s Tribeca, then moving back again to the Chelsea Hotel and spending summers with Viva&’s upper-middle-class, conservative, hyperpatriarchal family of origin.In Don&’t Call Me Home, Alexandra meditates on the seedy glory of being raised by two counterculture icons, from walking a pet goat around Chelsea and joining the Squat Theatre company to coparenting her younger sister, Gaby, with her mother and partying in East Village nightclubs.
