The Stately Homo by Paul Bailey
This work is a tribute to the unique character of Quentin Crisp, a flamboyant, gifted and genuine British eccentric and artist. A number of well-known contributors explore Quentin Crisp's life from a variety of angles.
'Required reading for anyone whose life was touched by Crisp in some wayWhich, whether we care to admit or not probably means most of us' Time Out 'All in all...a delight. I read the accounts with delight and much regret - at having never met in person the man we seem so reluctant to forget' The Pink Paper 'His graciousness and dignity shine through' Mail on Sunday
