Feliks (dzerzhinsky) Question: Why is Quentin Crisp quoted as if he was the author of Gormenghast? He's not. Mervyn Peake is the author.

Perhaps Quentin Crisp wrote the preface to this book? Although I can't imagine why that would be. Anyway I have this edition at home and can verify that possibility later today.

Oh well. Just curious.

Banjomike | 5166 comments Fixed. That is from "The Naked Civil Servant".

Crisp did write some introductions for the Gormenghast books so I would think that someone misclicked.
