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...
評分不懂装懂,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“...
評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...
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.
评分incredibly funny
评分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!
评分就這種深度還好意思說自己是裝B指南?兩句就能揭穿。重點放在知識上不如放在行為模式上。
