By 1985 Quentin Crisp had outgrown his outrageously flamboyant youth, and was ready to write a witty, humorous, and socially perceptive book on manners. The book is full of anecdotal observations that now - in 2019 - often feel like a walk down memory lane. The book was fun to read and offered sound advice for remaining kind and tactful in a mad, mad world.
