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.

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...
评分题记:B是装B者的通行证,也是通往装B者内心的康庄大道。 注:本文为装B文,供批判用,请对号入座。 **老师,***老师,你们的身影在我写此文的过程中不停地在我脑海中浮现。在此一并致谢。 《假装的艺术》一书的最大意义在于,手把手教人们在生活中把自己扮演得更加特立...
评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...
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...
评分从人类开始群居生活的第一天,伪装作为群居生活的一种基本技能就与我们的生存和生活息息相关。在豆瓣上,尽管经常有人毫不客气地批评文艺青年的装逼和矫揉造作,但“文艺青年装逼会”的小组里依然堂堂当当挤满了60829人。装逼在这个信息时代,正在慢慢演变成一个技能。与你在...

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!
incredibly funny
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。
评分就这种深度还好意思说自己是装B指南?两句就能揭穿。重点放在知识上不如放在行为模式上。
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. 萌萌哒!
