"This biography chronicles Crisp's life, including birth in pre-World War I England; his life as a gay youth on the streets of London; early attempts at writing and job-seeking; entry into the world of modeling; and overnight success late in life. With this definitive chronicle, Quentin Crisp and his unique worldview are once again on display"--Provided by publisher.
