The Stately Homo: A Celebration of the Life of Quentin Crisp

Paul Bailey has created a fascinating portrait of the unique Quentin Crisp, with contributions from friends, admirers, and critics. His various careers — as a performer, artist's model, writer of a memorable autobiography, and authority on style and etiquette — are examined with wit, affection, and disinterested criticism. Designed to explore his life from a variety of angles, The Stately Homo is a tribute to one of the twentieth century's true English eccentrics.
