Conceptually unique, hilarious, and frightening, referred to as "pornography" in The New York Times Book Review's original review and as "a work of genius" in Newsweek's, a: a novel is the perfect literary manifestation of Andy Warhol's sensibility. In the late sixties Warhol set out to turn a trade book into a piece of pop art, and the result was a: a novel -- a day in the life of the Factory crew.
