A story in the NY Times about a U.K. writer denied entry into the United States on grounds of “moral turpitude” has been itching in my brain for the last few weeks. Sebastian Horsley was headed to the U.S. to begin a media tour for his recently published memoir Dandy in the Underworld, in which he “chronicles his life as an artist, a junkie and a self-professed dandy. . . . painting himself as a misogynist, a sexual deviant and a narcissist.” [Publisher's Weekly] He was questioned for eight hours at Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey before being sent back to England.
