nA moving and wickedly funny memoir about one womans life as the daughter of a Warhol superstar and the intimate bonds of mother-daughter relationships nAlexandra Auders life began at the Chelsea Hotel--New York Citys infamous bohemian hangout--when her mother, Viva, a longtime resident of the hotel and one of Andy Warhols superstars, went into labor in the lobby. These first moments of Alexandras life, documented by her filmmaker father, Michel Auder, portended the whirlwind childhood and teen years that she would go on to have. n nAt the center of it all is Viva: a glamorous, larger-than-life woman with mercurial moods, who brings Alexandra with her on the road from gig to gig, splitting time between a home in Connecticut and Alexandras fathers loft in 1980s Tribeca, then moving back again to the Chelsea Hotel and spending summers with Vivas upper-middle-class, conservative, hyperpatriarchal family of origin. n nIn Dont Call Me Home, Alexandra meditates on the seedy glory of being raised by two counterculture icons, from walking a pet goat around Chelsea and joining the Squat Theatre company to coparenting her younger sister, Gaby, with her mother and partying in East Village nightclubs. Flitting between this world and her present-day life as a yoga instructor, actress, mother, wife, and much-loved Instagram provocateur, Alexandra weaves a stunning, moving, and hilarious portrait of a family and what it means to move away from being your mothers daughter into being a person of your own.n
