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

[Jemma Love · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sometimes laugh out loud hilarious, sometimes profoundly wise, sometimes concerningly contradictory and controversial!

[Karen-Leigh · Rating 4 out of 5]

I adore Quentin's view of life.
