About the author

Quentin Crisp, born Denis Charles Pratt, was an English writer, artist's model, actor and raconteur known for his memorable and insightful witticisms. He became a gay icon in the 1970s after publication of his memoir, The Naked Civil Servant, brought to the attention of the general public his defiant exhibitionism and longstanding refusal to remain in the closet.

Reviews

[Ez · Rating 4 out of 5]

"[I]t is a good idea to maintain your place at in all times in the same state of tidiness or disarray, cleanliness or uncleanliness. Hastily dusting or tidying up for visitors is a form of lying".

The kind of book that makes you wish you could go get drunk with the author.

I read this 30 years ago, then I became 'Vallin'.

A witty and fun life-style guide by Quentin Crisp! My favorite chapter was "Confusing Your Enemies with Style." I borrowed this one from my library and will probably purchase a copy for my style/fashion shelf.
