Overview

In this omnibus collection of the career of the seminal alternative artist and musician Genesis P-Orridge, the legendary performer opens his files to show the world never-before-seen texts, photos, artwork and magic. P-Orridge, whose bands Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV set the stage for modern industrial, punk and alternative music, here finally comes clean on many issues surrounding his life, work and mystique. From the 1960s, when the COUM Transmissions first turned England and the art world upside down, to his music, to his religion-as-a-joke-as-a-religion, this book covers it all.
