Review
Sacramento Book Review, September 2008
“At times taking shots at low hanging fruit, this humorous guide to being your very own local elitist will probably be used by those very people it attempts to parody.”

Product Description
In today’s fast-paced society, who has time to keep up with both the current trends and the classics of what is “good” and “popular”? The Art of Faking It guides you—with tongue planted firmly in cheek—through any awkward, intellectual, and/or über-sophisticated social situation, using both panache and pithy nuggets of wisdom to ensure you’ll never be at a loss for the right words and attitudes again.
Inside you will find everything you need to know about what everyone is talking about— from ordering the “right” food and drink to holding an intelligent conversation about anything, from classical music and architecture to legitimate theater and the opposite sex. With the timely information and savvy advice in this book, playfully illustrated with New Yorker-esque line drawings, you will be the most scintillating conversationalist in the bunch—whether you are faking it or not!
Author Laurence Whitted-Fry, when not doing Mergers and Acquisitions on a multi-national yet ecologically sound level, can be found scuba-diving in the Amazon, race-car driving in Kabul, or raising prized Arabian stallions on a small island off Italy’s southern coast. He is currently working on a follow-up to his best-selling self-help book, A Guide to Investments After the Rapture.
He resides and teaches Feminist Interpretive Dance (FID), and Swiss Cooking Techniques (SCT) in Manhattan and Woodstock, New York.

“你工作上的同事,你原来在工作之中只认识他工作这一面,但是你上他Facebook,你发现他原来喜欢狗,你发现他还喜欢养花,你发现他很讨厌苍井空,我怎么老说苍井空呢……” —— “开卷八分钟”,梁文道 你看,忽然那么一天,到处都开始讲苍井空。仿佛人人都怕落了后,忙不迭...
评分《假装的艺术》为什么不叫《装逼的艺术》?——答案很简单,本来这本书就是想叫《装逼的艺术》,但委实太三俗,最终定名只能是《假装的艺术》。很显然,这一略显遗憾的书名并未阻碍大家领会精神,——出版社与读者之间,难得如此心有灵犀。 于我而言,要谈论《假装的艺术》这...
