Table of ContentsReviews"""Deftly reported and full of fresh facts and interviews as well as glittering gossip, Cynthia Carr's Candy Darling allows us to see--truly, for the first time--this celluloid wisp of a Warhol superstar in all her humanity and in all her doomed performance art, trying to pass 24-7 as Kim Novak or Marilyn Monroe, existing 2D in a 3D world. Updating all the camp and vamp, Carr is a trustworthy, sensitive guide to the nuances of Candy's experience as she emerges as a historical trans pioneer, caught between gender dysphoria and her own blonder gender euphoria."" --Brad Gooch, author of Radiant: The Life and Line of Keith Haring ""Candy Darling willed herself to be beautiful, and she succeeded: she was uniquely, spectrally beautiful. But the world made her pay for it. The prejudice against gender choice kept her poor, beholden to others, shunned, disrespected, disinvited, and locked up within herself. Cynthia Carr's minute reconstruction of her life is brilliant and profoundly sad. As if Candy's ghost were dictating the terms, it keeps her an enigma, a consummate life actress who never dressed down."" --Lucy Sante, author of I Heard Her Call My Name" """Deftly reported and full of fresh facts and interviews as well as glittering gossip, Cynthia Carr's Candy Darling allows us to see--truly, for the first time--this celluloid wisp of a Warhol superstar in all her humanity and in all her doomed performance art, trying to pass 24-7 as Kim Novak or Marilyn Monroe, existing 2D in a 3D world.
