Right after we saw "The Naked Civil Servant" in the Esplanade library - the first (I freely confess) I heard of Quentin Crisp - I found his New York diaries at a secondhand bookshop in Tampines Mall, of all places. It is titled Resident Alien and was shelved under "serious/classic literature", which I think Crisp may have appreciated. Now that I've finished his New York account, can we get the video? If nothing else, it stars John Hurt.
