A review by lowlifeform
Art Sex Music by Cosey Fanni Tutti

slow-paced

i like cosey's work but this book is a snoozefest. incredible how she lived such an interesting life yet makes it sound so dull. she often comes across as shallow; there is very little of the self-reflection or introspection you would expect in a memoir, it's just a list of events and places and people. why should i care about her taxes or the minute details of a heated email exchange? hundreds of pages should have been cut before this was released. and while i don't mean to criticise her personal life, i wish more emphasis had been placed on HER, her outlook and ideas, rather than her relationships with the men in her life, which is really the central focus of the work.

that being said, i would highly recommend this book to anyone who has any respect for genesis p-orridge, as it is a brilliant exposé of what a talentless, misogynistic, parasitic hack he was- the andy warhol of industrial music. cosey said her intention with this book was to "set the record straight" and she has achieved that. but it's just that-  a piece of record keeping rather than an autobiography.
