What is How to Be Decadent about?
The British are a sporting race, says George Mikes. Having been Top Dog and Ruler of the Waves for centuries, they've decided to give others a chance. This is not a nation of Vulgar Winners, this is the nation of Good Losers.Unfortunately, it's not that easy. The thing is, one has to know how to decay; one must learn, in short, how to be successfully decadent. You may desire to decay, yet your inborn excellence, your enviable human qualities, your blameless character may keep you at the top. Or else you may overdo it, and decay a shade too speedily. But don't despair, for it can be done. All that's needed is determination, skill, the united effort of a great nation -and this hilarious book! 9780140049527
