About the author

Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (born Neil Andrew Megson) is an English singer-songwriter, musician, writer and artist.

P-Orridge's early confrontational performance work in COUM Transmissions in the late 1960s and early 1970s along with the industrial band Throbbing Gristle, which dealt with subjects such as prostitution, pornography, serial killers, occultism, and P-Orridge's own exploration of gender issues, generated controversy. Later musical work with Psychic TV received wider exposure.

After marrying Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge in 1993, Genesis and Lady Jaye began a project to become Breyer P-Orridge, a single pandrogynous entity. Genesis Breyer P-Orridge continued this project after the death of Lady Jaye in 2007.

Reviews

[Steve · Rating 2 out of 5]

Genesis P-Orridge does a lot of heavy-borrowing from other, better writers like John Lilly, William S. Burroughs, J.G. Ballard and Aleister Crowley. His spelling conceits are idiotic and he seems incredibly self-absorbed and melodramatic. You can get the information contained here from the writers he cribbed from and have a better time.
