From AudioFile

Flamboyant, in-your-face gay, British expatriate Quentin Crisp is best known for his Naked Civil Servant. Here he applies his catty wit to his life in America. Crisp fans will not mind the monotonous, feeble, fuddy-duddy reading. Far from it. But others may prefer to consult the printed page, where the urbane delights of his observations are not muted by his aged, labored voice. Y.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
