" Haslam pops up from decade to decade alongside some of the most
fascinating people in our cultural history.Vanity Fair The erudite
but witty collected critiques, commentaries, reviews and
reflections of the renowned society figure, author and interior
designer, who has known everyone. Nicky Haslam is known for a
number of achievements: he is an established interior designer, a
successful author, renowned society figure and, in his most recent
incarnation, a cabaret singer, playing to sell out audiences in
London and New York. Less well-known are his writings for a number
of prestigious publications, including The Spectator, The Oldie,
the Literary Review, as well as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Tatler and
The World of Interiors among many publications both in the UK and
abroad. This curated collection celebrates Haslam's accomplishments
as a writer, commentator and litterateur. Incorporating selected
pieces of Haslam's extensive and eclectic writings from throughout
his varied career and spanning several decades, The Impatient Pen
is an anthology of a lifetime spent observing, learning, as well as
thriving, among the artistic and society circles in Europe and
America. Haslam's critiques, commentaries, reviews and reflections
attest to his status as a polymath: exhibiting his knowledge of
assorted topics, ranging from architecture, painting and all areas
of design to gardens, food, and social history, delivered with
characteristic erudition, wit and insight. "
