Dont Call Me Home is about madness and love. Alexandra tells the best stories about her extraordinary childhood as she travels the world with her mother Viva. Wit and wisdom wrapped and bound with love. Debbie HarryAlexandra Auders Dont Call Me Home is thrumming with life, in all its absurdity, vividness, and gunk. I literally laughed and cried, and cheered hard throughout for our intrepid narrator, who has gifted us an incomparable tale.Maggie Nelson author of The Argonauts and On FreedomA moving and wickedly funny memoir about one womans life as the daughter of a Warhol superstar and the intimate bonds of motherdaughter relationshipsAlexandra Auders life began at the Chelsea HotelNew York Citys infamous bohemian hangoutwhen 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.At the center of it all is Viva: a glamorous, largerthanlife 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 uppermiddleclass, conservative, hyperpatriarchal family of origin.In 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 presentday life as a yoga instructor, actress, mother, wife, and muchloved 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.
