具體描述

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.”

--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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!

著者簡介

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.

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...

来,告诉我,你喜欢哪些作家? 村上春树?这也太庸俗了。杜拉斯?天哪,这年头初中生都知道《情人》! 没错,这些耳熟能详的名词都过时了,在21世纪,要把自己伪装成新一代的文艺青年,你应该喜欢的人是里尔克(“象征诗派的先驱,改变了宗教诗歌的定...  

評分

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...  

評分

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...  

評分

刘编辑已经为这篇书稿催了我三个星期,为了守住事不过三星期的做人原则,我对正在冬眠的大脑发出召唤,转动一下吧,国家德比都过去一天了,也该想想别的事儿。 刚拿到这本书的时候,我原以为读起来会很吃力,可实际情况却是格外的畅快,有点类似于疏泄,就是拿着一刻也不停的...

沒看完.這種書不在他的文化背景下,很難領會或共鳴.而且術語太多.

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. 萌萌噠!
