When Edie was first published, it quickly became an international bestseller and then took its place among the classic books about the 1960s. Edie Sedgwick exploded into the public eye like a comet. She seemed to have it all: she was aristocratic and glamorous, vivacious and young, Andy Warhol’s superstar. But within a few years she flared out as quickly as she had appeared, and before she turned twenty-nine she was dead from a drug overdose.

In a dazzling tapestry of voices—family, friends, lovers, rivals—the entire meteoric trajectory of Edie Sedgwick’s life is brilliantly captured. And so is the Pop Art world of the ‘60s: the sex, drugs, fashion, music—the mad rush for pleasure and fame. All glitter and flash on the outside, it was hollow and desperate within—like Edie herself, and like her mentor, Andy Warhol. Alternately mesmerizing, tragic, and horrifying, this book shattered many myths about the ‘60s experience in America.

当《伊迪》首次出版时，它迅速成为国际畅销书，然后在有关20世纪60年代的经典书籍中占有一席之地。伊迪-塞奇威克像一颗彗星一样爆发式地进入公众视野。她似乎拥有一切：她是贵族和迷人的，活泼和年轻，是安迪-沃霍尔的超级明星。但在几年内，她就像她出现时一样迅速消失了，在她29岁之前，她就死于药物过量。

在一个令人眼花缭乱的声音中，家人、朋友、恋人、对手，伊迪-塞奇威克的整个人生轨迹被精彩地捕捉到。60年代的波普艺术世界也是如此：性、毒品、时尚、音乐，以及对快乐和名声的疯狂追求。外表光鲜亮丽，内心却空虚绝望，就像伊迪本人，也像她的导师安迪-沃霍尔。这本书交替出现的迷惑性、悲剧性和恐怖性，打破了许多关于美国60年代经历的神话。
