5.0 out of 5 stars There is a God, his name is Crisp, Quentin Crisp., August 23, 1998
By 
jimmirae@webtv.net (Pompano Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resident Alien (Hardcover)
Crisp has done it again! Just when you think you're a maven on things-BOOM- he publishes his diaries! What a scandal, although I am sure some blue nosed puritan proofreader somewhere omitted some of the more "Corrupting evidence", Mr. Crisps personality and always charming style and wit still manage to rise above the parchment at every turn. This is an ideal "Holiday" gift for a freind to take along when on a long flight or travel to make the time seem to "Fly by", as it did for me when I enjoyed it the first time...My Word!,...I think I shall go and read it again now. Mr. Crisp is timeless and indefatigable... and like "Miss Jean Brodie", still in his "Prime"time! Kudo's once again and, Bravo, Mr. Crisp, You are "La Divine'" indeed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Always good., April 20, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Resident Alien: The New York Diaries (Gay & Lesbian Studies) (Paperback)
You cannot help being interested in Mr Crisp. Very eccentric and funny and I agree with wanting to be as far away from the UK as possible.! Viva NY!

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure, November 18, 2002
This review is from: Resident Alien: The New York Diaries (Penguin Audiobooks) (Audio Cassette)
If you have read the book with Mr. Crisps droll, flat voice in your head....you can begin to imagine how much fun the audio version of this book is. His dry wit is very much in evidence here as he shares his unique perspective on life in the "smile and nod racket".

I think this recording belongs in the Smithsonian Archives.
