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!
上次一帮朋友聚会,来了个歌舞团里弹钢琴的丫头,张口就谈音乐,谁都罩不住,狂得不得了,显得我们都是光吃五谷杂粮的俗人似的。好歹有我在,自告奋勇不顾个人安危上去就和她讨论起19世纪的德国古典音乐,再紧接着一个过渡,谈到舒曼的古典主义,说到紧要处,打尾灯,刹车,调...
评分不懂装懂,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,...
评分大头马总是说我没有文化,对我而言,没有文化就意味着你都无法分辨什么是装逼,什么是傻逼。这么一个上升到伦理道德层面的严肃问题就像是无法分辨大卫林奇、大卫芬奇、盖里奇、凯文林奇、马尔科维奇以及伊比舍维奇般,在我的世界里日日夜夜的纠结。 有什么方法能让我真正的成为...
评分我还在上初中的时候,邻居家住了这样一个姐姐,她留了很长的头发,在夏天最热的时候都如披肩一般的披散在肩膀上,在阳光下,甚至能看见她的头顶冒出蒸汽;她的身形极瘦,带着一只银镯,一抬手,镯子就滑落到手肘那儿去。在我的印象里,她永远都穿着白衬衫和棉布裙子,...
感觉还不够装是怎么回事…
评分本书中文名叫装13的艺术
评分消遣用..时代产物
评分这种程度都敢写装逼指南,装的完全不到位,有几章完全是在误导读者,写作者完全没领会到装的精致。这书厕所读物都不如。
评分没看完.这种书不在他的文化背景下,很难领会或共鸣.而且术语太多.
