With an indisputable knowledge of cause and great doses of humor, Glenn O'Brien reveals in this work the secrets that every man must know to be a true gentleman. Much more than a series of tips on clothing and good manners, these pages are a true immersion in refinement and good taste, even in the most challenging situations. For example, the author teaches us what a well-born man needs to know in order not to look silly, to insult someone who deserves it, to get along in a fight, to dress like a dandy, to become famous, and so on. A classic of style and good manners, and one of the funniest books on the subject.
