Nonbinary: A Memoir

An open memoir from pioneering industrial music artist, visual artist, and transgender icon Genesis P-Orridge (1950–2020) of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, spanning decades of artistic risk-taking and a search for identity and true self. Throughout a life of creation and destruction, Genesis P-Orridge reveals an unwillingness to be stuck—stuck in one place, in one genre, or in one gender. Nonbinary is Genesis’s final work and is shared with hopes of being an inspiration to the newest generation of trailblazers and nonconformists. Growing up in World War II’s fallout in Britain, contributing to the explosion of new music and radical art in the 1960s, and destroying visual and artistic norms throughout a lifetime, this captivating memoir of a singular artist and musician is also an inside look at one of our most remarkable cultural lives that will be an inspiration to fans of industrial music, performance art, the occult, and a life in the arts.
