Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina:

After half a century of metropolitan infamy, Quentin Crisp graduated to international fame when his widely acclaimed autobiography 'The Naked Civil Servant' made him a household name, even in respectable households.

In this second volume of autobiography, Quentin Crisp describes the wider horizons of his years as a celebrity at home and abroad, and explains his personal philosophy of inaction, as well as his love affair with North America.

'How to Become a Virgin' is as witty, acute and perceptive as its inimitable author.

“His writing sparkles”
JOHN MORTIMER, 'Sunday Times'

“There must be something in a writer if every paragraph can make you howl with mirth”
OBSERVER

“If Quentin Crisp had never existed it is unlikely that anyone would have had the nerve to invent him”
THE TIMES
