The Naked Civil Servant  -  Quentin Crisp

KORTE INHOUD

In this funny and moving account of his outrageous youth, Quentin Crisp describes the stresses and strains of life as 'not merely a selfconfessed homesexual but a self-evident one'. Wearing make-ip 'at a time when even on women eye-shadow was sinful'. Crisp wondered the twilight world of prewar London's bed-sitting rooms and sleazy, late-night cafes, encountering both hostility and tenderness. A life of shortlived jobs and precarious relationships was faced with courage, humour and intelligence.
