The Naked Civil Servant by Quentin Crisp
The flamboyant autobiography of the uninhibited and wonderful Quentin Crisp.
'A work of great wit, intelligence and sensitivity' Washington Post Book World
Quentin Crisp was born on Christmas Day 1908 in Sutton, a suburb of London. After leaving school he became an illustrator and a designer of book covers before spending the next 35 years of his life as an artists' model. In 1981 he moved to New York City and became a resident alien, living in a one bedroom flat in Chelsea which he famously never cleaned ("After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse"), and describing himself as a "resident waif". He died in 1999, just one month short of his 91st birthday.
