The Fry Chronicles

ebook
The British actor, writer, and comedy legend tells his story: "Funny, poignant . . . His prose feels like an ideal form of conversation." —The Washington Post
A #1 Sunday Times Bestseller
When Stephen Fry arrived at Cambridge, he was a convicted thief, an addict, and a failed suicide, convinced that he would be expelled. Instead, university life offered him love and the chance to entertain. He befriended bright young things like Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson, and delighted audiences with Blackadder and A Bit of Fry and Laurie. Covering most of his twenties, this is the riotous and utterly compelling story of how the Stephen the world knows (or thinks it knows) took his first steps in theater, radio, television, and film. Tales of scandal and champagne jostle with insights into hard-earned stardom. The Fry Chronicles is not afraid to confront the chasm that separates public image from private feeling, and it is marvelously rich in trademark wit and verbal brilliance.
"Charming." —The Wall Street Journal
"Genuinely touching and often hilarious." —Publishers Weekly
