Description
A whip-smart coming-of-age story about friendship and identity, set against the vibrant backdrop of 1960s New York City. Seventeen-year-old Mae's life is turned upside down when she drops out of school and lands a job as a typist for artist Andy Warhol. Working alongside other girls transcribing his tapes, Mae forms an unlikely bond with Shelley, and together they navigate the surreal world of the Factory. As they explore their womanhood and sexuality, Mae must confront the thin line between art and voyeurism. As the sixties sweep over her, Mae grapples with how to remain her own person in a world that seems determined to consume her. With its whip-smart prose and unflinching gaze, Nothing Special is a powerful exploration of independence, identity, and the construction of art.
