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.
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!
不懂装懂,原来也是一门艺术 ——读《假装的艺术》 范典/文 ■假装,是现代人的一种需要 “假装”或许称得上是“模仿”的升级,但凡是人都有模仿的天性,这已成为社会形式。在你还是小孩,在这个成长过程中就难免会模仿他人,说得再直接些,那些演员,无不是在“模仿”或“...
评分翻了翻此书,突然想起大学时代那段被尊称为二哥的日子。我是全班年龄最小的。班里最大的那年也有21岁,足足比我大了五岁。可是他们从来不叫我小孩,小朋友,而是在直面装逼王和考试时,轻轻的又充满尊敬的叫我一声,二哥。 我们所学的专业里最装逼的莫过于音乐学了。这种东西,...
评分豆瓣7005人评价,当当30182人评价,所以有理由相信这本书已经卖了5万册,甚至可能接近10万册……对这本书的印象最早只是停留在豆瓣读书首页,封面让人印象深刻,但一直没把这书加到书单里。 周一偶然在明复的书架上看到这本书,便随手借。老实说内容其实不怎么接地气,但必须...
评分抛开中二病毒的侵袭不谈,每个人都有被人仰慕的愿望,有姿色的哪怕不能当选全球选美小姐/先生,只要发些靓照从而微博粉丝过六位、或入主“豆瓣有趣人物蜡像馆”也是相当爽利的事情。马斯洛的第五层梦境——自我价值的实现,在这个物价上涨、房东为王的时代,穷酸的文青难以...

评分本书中文名叫装13的艺术
评分装X地说,这是一本太。。初级的装X书吧,无论作者意图是要讽刺装X还是教人装X,话题也开展得不够深入不够狠。尤其总让人不由自主拿它和《格调》相比,弱了太多。
评分incredibly funny
评分All shoes should be scruffy and unevenly worn down on the heels. ou definitely need glasses with chunky frames, a geek-chic hairstyle (ponytail for girls, scruff for men), an overstuffed tote bag, and many writing implements—fountain pens are especially good. 萌萌哒!
