Description
Quentin Crisp discusses his book, “Manners From Heaven.” He begins by explaining how his early life was different from most children’s, how he got made fun of by bullies and the strained relationship with his father. He advises how to gracefully end a phone conversation when you don’t want to speak to the other person anymore. He describes how he does a stage show about manners, and the book is a compilation of some questions the audience would ask him. Crisp advises how to make friends more easily, and be loved by others. He ends the interview by discussing how he talked into a tape recorder and had a transcriber write his advice into this book.
