Dandy in the Underworld is the title of British writer Sebastian Horsley's autobiographic memoirs. The book was published in the UK by Sceptre in September 2007 and in the USA in March 2008, published by Harper Perennial. The title was inspired by the eponymous T. Rex album.
In it, he claims to have an affair with the Scottish gangster turned artist Jimmy Boyle. Horsley further stated that his late wife, Evlynn, also had an affair with Boyle, who served as best man at the couple's wedding, according to Horsley's mother.
From the publisher: In the honorable tradition of the eccentric dandyism of Lord Byron, Oscar Wilde, and Quentin Crisp comes Sebastian Horsley's disarming memoir of sex, drugs, and Savile Row.
