A biography of Stephen Fry told by him himself is packed with astonishing events, unusual personalities, and refined humor. In England, the book caused quite a stir and unrest—sometimes unhealthy—in the press, royal family circles, the world of show business, and among reading audiences. And it’s all because, telling about his life, Fry is extremely honest and candid—and if he gets things wrong somewhere, it’s only due to forgetfulness, not malice. This book covers the period of his maturity—when Fry became a star, but still wasn’t tired of life. And it is the most scandalous period of his biography: his life and work as a national treasure of Britain rested on quite dubious foundations, which he admits to himself and to everyone twenty years later. Fry hides nothing—he lays everything out as it is.
You can expect to meet Fry’s friends and loved ones: Hugh Laurie, Joe’s sister, Ben Elton, Emma Thompson, Rowan Atkinson, and many other star personalities. Fry tells amazing, almost anecdotal stories about his adventures together with Prince Charles and Princess Diana, London police, Oxford professors, and other characters. Get ready for incredible highs and lows together with one of the most charming, witty, and—simply—smart people of our time.
