'An affectionate and scrupulous portrait of the kind of lives which will never be seen again' - DAILY MAIL
This remarkable double biography celebrates the interlocking lives of two of the greatest eccentrics of the 20th century: the brilliant and bizarre Quentin Crisp and the outlandish Philip O'Connor, whose careers first became entwined in Fitzrovia during the Second World War.
This is the first authoritative account of the personalities behind their artful facades, told by novelist Andrew Barrow, whose life was profoundly affected by both men. Andrew Barrow is a writer and journalist, who regularly contributes to the pages of the Independent, The Daily Telegraph and the Spectator. He is also the author of two novels, both published by Picador – "The Tap Dancer" and "The Man in the Moon". He lives in London.
