Orgy Porgy / Scott Hobbs Bourne

Named after the prayer in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Orgy Porgy was a column from Scott Bourne that ran in the magazine Soma, between 2007 and 2011.

 « I wrote whatever I wished without fear of not being published, and in hindsight, the column itself was a prayer answered. I went where I wanted and danced about with the words. Each piece drew heavily from my life in Paris and the travels I did. I wrote about anything from war to a chance encounter with a transvestite who invited me to fondle her naked breast, which I joyfully did.

Herein lie those stories as well as a few selected pieces from other magazines, which I wanted to include in the orgy. »
