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.

评分总有一些人在你面前装X,自我感觉非常良好地炫弄似是而非的品位,面对这些“上流社会”的假正经和文艺青年的小情调,你可以敬而远之不予理会,但这并不是最好的选择,因为你纵容了他们的肤浅与无知。最好的选择是——用你的学问和见识将他们彻底击垮,让他们从此不敢在你面前显...
评分 评分本书适合:喜欢掉书袋但不希望书掉个满地的人;因为没读过的书太多而有职业焦虑的人;想读经典很久但每次翻不到10页就不支倒地的人…… 坦率地讲,我属于上面列出的第三种人。第一次看到《假装的艺术》的介绍,仿佛遇到世外高人,像极了电影《功夫》里的情节:老乞...
评分想装逼的,请看这本书。 想批装逼的,也请看这本书。 装逼且脸皮薄的,更需要这本书了。 倘若谈话的你俩都按着这书的法子来装逼,狭路相逢勇者胜,只有脸皮的厚度才能决定你的勇。据说,用书打脸,能锻炼厚度,有谁练过? 【作者是谁啊?】 这本书的作者叫怀特德-弗莱,...
