Synopsis

Paul Bailey has created a fascinating portrait of the unique Quentin Crisp, with contributions from friends, admirers, and critics. His various careers--as a performer, artist's model, writer of a memorable autobiography, and authority on style and etiquette--are examined with wit, affection, and disinterested criticism. Designed to explore his life from a variety of angles, "The Stately Homo" is a tribute to one of the twentieth century's true English eccentrics.
