‘Witty and amazing … both scholarly and hilarious at the same time’ John Waters, New York Times

Philip Hoare’s fascinating profile of Britain’s most legendary and flamboyant aristocratic aesthete. With unparalleled insight into Tennant’s bizarre and outrageously eccentric life, Hoare presents a superb biography that reflects an age of intellect, indolence, narcissism and pure style.
