Description
In this autobiography, Quentin Crisp describes his unhappy childhood and the stresses of adolescence that led him to London. There in bedsits and cafes he found a world of brutality and comedy, of shortlived jobs and precarious relationships. All of which he faced with humour and intelligence.
About the Author
Quentin Crisp was born in Sutton, Surrey, in 1908. After fifty years of almost unalleviated obscurity he found fame when a groundbreaking TV dramatisation of his autobiography, The Naked Civil Servant, was shown to great acclaim in the 1970s. Since then he has written several books, among them a second volume of autobiography, How to Become a Virgin, and more recently a book of film criticism, How to go to the Movies. Once described as one of the great 'stately homos of England', Quentin Crisp now lives in New York.
