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!
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“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...

评分竟然熬夜看这种书。。
评分三四年前读的。冯内古特说,"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." 翻译成大白话就是,“装逼须谨慎。”
评分O(∩_∩)O哈哈~ 第一本全部看完的英文书~太装了 不过值得一看。
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。
评分看了几眼,觉得我这是何苦…猝
