How to Become a Virgin - Softcover

After half a century of metropolitan infamy, Quentin Crisp graduated to international fame when his widely acclaimed autobiography 'The Naked Civil Servant' made him a household name, even in respectable households.

In this second volume of autobiography, Quentin Crisp describes the wider horizons of his years as a celebrity at home and abroad, and explains his personal philosophy of inaction, as well as his love affair with North America.

'How to Become a Virgin' is as witty, acute and perceptive as its inimitable author.

“His writing sparkles”

“If Quentin Crisp had never existed it is unlikely that anyone would have had the nerve to invent him”
