The Impatient Pen by Nicky Haslam
A curated collection of writings from writer, commentator and litterateur, Nicky Haslam.
'Gloriously entertaining' Sebastian Shakespeare, Tatler;'Nicky Haslam has known everyone from Greta Garbo to Cole Porter to the Royal Family, with many unforgettable eccentrics in between. But this is not a catalogue of celebrities. It is a truly felt, beautifully crafted , wise consideration of a full life, which paints an unforgettable picture of a vanished England and America. Masterpiece is an overused word, but this Proustian evocation is indeed a masterpiece' A. N. Wilson. ;'From the Mitfords to Warhol's Factory to Paris Hilton - Nicky Haslam has been at the centre of every glittering social circle in living memory... Haslam should be declared a National Treasure. While the nation's spirits are grievously low, Haslam brings joy and sprinkles magic dust of one sort or another wherever he goes' The Times.
NICKY HASLAM was born in 1939, in Buckinghamshire, just before the outbreak of the Second World War. He was educated at Eton, where he claims to have been `pretty useless at everything except art', and, by the 1960s, was working in Art Direction on magazines such as Vogue in New York, before buying a ranch in Arizona, breeding Arabian horses, as `after all, who hasn't wanted to be a cowboy?' This was followed by three years among the movie colony in Hollywood. Returning to England in the `70s, he established himself as an interior designer with, among many clients, `the three R's.... Royalty, Rock-stars, and Russians.'
