Summary
A revealing and beautifully open memoir from pioneering industrial music artist, visual artist, and transgender icon Genesis P-Orridge.
In this groundbreaking book spanning decades of artistic risk-taking, the inventor of “industrial music”, founder of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, and world-renowned fine artist with COUM Transmissions, Genesis P-Orridge (1950-2020) takes us on a journey searching for identity and their true self. It is the story of a life of creation and destruction, where Genesis P-Orridge reveals their unwillingness to be stuck—stuck in one place, in one genre, or in one gender. Nonbinary is Genesis’ final work and is shared with hopes of being an inspiration to the newest generation of trailblazers and nonconformists.
Nonbinary is the intimate story of Genesis’ life, weaving the narrative of their history in COUM Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle, and Psychic TV. It also covers 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 their entire life. In addition to being a captivating memoir of a singular artist and musician, Nonbinary 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.

Addictive and paradigm-shifting
A fantastic performance, I think the narrator was friends with Genesis and has seemingly adopted some of his inflections, you can hear the love and humour. What a life! Bold and sensitive, it's as historically interesting as it is revealing, personally and artistically. Listen to this and you will never see the world in the same way again!

A slice of Britain's alternative cultural history
It seems like the publishers tried to find a narrator that sounds like Genesis, but ended up sounding like a cross between Remi Malek playing Freddie Mercury and Genesis hinself. Not a bad thing either and I think Genesis would have seen the irony. The narration is actually very good and very listenable.
The content is fascinating, especially when there is so much material out there on Genesis from third parties that can be quite surface level stuff.
