The life of someone like Stephen Fry is hardly ordinary. This autobiography covers the first two decades of his life. The whole truth about how a small boy lived, how he turned into a liar and a criminal—and how all of this became a phenomenon called Stephen Fry—this is what the book is about. And, of course, even from his own life, Fry managed to create a comedy—sad, dazzling, full of play and endlessly truthful (or perhaps just as endlessly false). Probably the most candid, most shameless, yet also the most ironic autobiography an Englishman could have written. Welcome and enjoy—Stephen Fry, with all his innards!
