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!
“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...
評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...
評分来,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...
裝X地說,這是一本太。。初級的裝X書吧,無論作者意圖是要諷刺裝X還是教人裝X,話題也開展得不夠深入不夠狠。尤其總讓人不由自主拿它和《格調》相比,弱瞭太多。
评分這種程度都敢寫裝逼指南,裝的完全不到位,有幾章完全是在誤導讀者,寫作者完全沒領會到裝的精緻。這書廁所讀物都不如。
评分感覺還不夠裝是怎麼迴事…
评分本書中文名叫裝13的藝術
评分專業裝逼指南= =。。
