No Debauchery, Please, We're American

A British author/dandy/provocateur has been denied entry to the United States. Sebastian Horsley is the author of Dandy in the Underworld. The book details Horsley's involvement with numerous prostitutes and copious drugs. US customs officials turned him away citing the book as proof of moral turpitude. (Easter connection: Horsley was once nailed to a cross in the Phillipines as part of an art project.)

Horsley was on his way to New York for a launch party and readings. Publisher Harper Perennial is undaunted, calling the book "very important."--David E
