We're delighted to announce that Sex
Is No Emergency by Dorothy Max Prior is now
available to pre-order in both special hardback and standard paperback
editions.
The follow-up to the acclaimed memoir 69
Exhibition Road (2023), Sex Is No
Emergency charts further adventures in the post-punk wonderland of
the 1980s as Dorothy Max Prior recalls her life
becoming 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.
