Items related to Quentin and Philip : A Double Portrait
A fascinating double portrait of two great English eccentrics: Quentin Crisp and Philip O`Connor. Andrew Barrow first met Quentin Crisp in 1971 and their friendship lasted until Crisp`s death last year. Through Crisp, he also met the wild, much-married `genius` Philip O`Connor. The two men had known each other since the beginning of the Second World War when they both inhabited the same select corner of Low Bohemia. O`Connor was as ill-mannered as Quentin was polite, but like Quentin he would enjoy huge success with a volume of autobiography. Memoirs of a Public Baby was published in 1958 and took the world by storm. Barrow knew both men and his book is a wide-ranging but highly personal account of these two extraordinarycharacters. At the same time it is a vivid picture of high and low life in London, France and New York in the second half of the twentieth century.
