Originally entitled Cock, it has also had such working titles as SPEEED KILLS, Amphootimum, Co-Pilots, UPss, Or AAI, and TwentyFour Hours...If an encyclopedia is a concise compendium of a man's knowledge, Andy Warhol's novel is the obverse - a total experience of a daily life raised to a fever pitch of brilliancy, vagueness, hilarity, confusion, insight through the abnormally extreme personalities of his real-life characters. The following are some excerpts from the original reviews.
