Before he was Mark Twain, he was Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Born in 1835, the man who would become America’s first literary celebrity spent his childhood dreaming of piloting steamboats on the Mississippi.

It wasn’t long before the former steamboat pilot from Missouri was recognized across the country for his literary brilliance. Chernow masterfully captures the man whose career reflected the country’s westward expansion, industrialization and foreign wars. In this brilliant work of scholarship, a moving tribute to the writer’s talent and humanity, Chernow reveals the magnificent and often maddening life of one of the most original characters in American history.

“Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil,” Andy Warhol confessed, “of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them.” Obsessed with celebrity, the silver-wigged artistic icon created an ever-evolving entourage of stunning women he dubbed his “Superstars”. He gave several of them new names and manipulated their beauty and talent for his art and social status with no regard for their safety, their dignity, or their lives. In WARHOL'S MUSES, bestselling biographer Laurence Leamer shines a spotlight on the complex women who inspired and starred in Warhol’s legendary underground films. Drawn by the siren call of Manhattan life in the sixties, they each left their protected enclaves and ventured to a new world, Warhol’s famed Factory, having no sense that they would never be able to return to their old homes and familiar ways again.
