About the Book

More than simply Andy Warhol's muse, Candy Darling was a trailblazing artist, a transgender iconoclast who defied convention and lit up the world with her bold personality.

In "Candy Darling," acclaimed biographer Leonard Coughlin takes readers on a fascinating trip through the incredible life of one of the most famous individuals in art and cultural history. Candy Darling's journey from her humble beginnings in Forest Hills, Queens, to her ascent to prominence as one of Andy Warhol's Superstars exemplifies the transforming power of self-expression, tenacity, and uncompromising sincerity.

Drawing on extensive research, Coughlin creates a vivid portrayal of Darling's life and legacy, chronicling her transformation from a shy, optimistic young woman to a trailblazing figure in the world of avant-garde cinema and theatre. Darling's experiences provide readers with insight into the colorful countercultural movements of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the changing ideas regarding gender and identity in current culture.

But "Candy Darling" is more than simply a biography; it's a celebration of the human spirit and the ability of art to break down barriers and inspire change. With warmth, empathy, and devotion, Coughlin encourages readers to immerse themselves in Darling's world, from the flash and glamor of the New York City art scene to the quiet moments of meditation and introspection that marked her personal life.

As we follow Darling's story, we meet a cast of characters as colorful and diverse as the streets of Greenwich Village itself-from fellow Warhol Superstars Holly Woodlawn and Joe Dallesandro to avant-garde playwrights Jackie Curtis and Tennessee Williams, to beloved friends and collaborators who stood by her through thick and thin. Readers acquire a better picture of the lady behind the legend through their eyes-a woman whose intelligence and ability still shine brilliantly, even in the darkest of circumstances.

But, perhaps most significantly, "Candy Darling" is a call to action-to accept our own identities and follow our aspirations with courage and conviction, as Darling did. Darling's determination to live life on her terms remained unwavering in the face of hardship, and her narrative serves as a strong reminder that we, too, can mold our destinies and influence the world.

So, dear reader, follow Leonard C. Coughlin on a memorable trip through Candy Darling's life and legacy. Let us honor the tenacious spirit of a real legend while being encouraged to embrace our authenticity, inventiveness, and tenacity. In the pages of "Candy Darling," everything is imaginable.
