Sex Is No Emergency: Adventures In A Post Punk Wonderland Dorothy Max Prior

In this new volume focusing on the 1980s, Dorothy Max Prior recalls her life as it becomes ever more surreal and bemusing: days drumming and touring with infamous experimental pansexual psychedelic rock group Psychic TV; exploring London and New York City’s queer clubbing undergrounds;  weaving through the tangled worlds of the UK’s indie music scene at the height of its influence. Not to mention ballroom dancing, birthing babies, breastfeeding, and moving to Brighton to become a performance artist.

Wise, wry, and endlessly charming, this is a sparkling account of bold, adventurous creativity featuring cameos from Björk, Derek Jarman, Madonna, Ray Harryhausen and a host  of others.
