Synopsis:

Spanning 1979–1987, The Fry Chronicles charts Stephen's arrival at Cambridge up to his thirtieth birthday.

'Perfect prose and excruciating honesty. A grand reminiscence of college and theatre and comedyland in the 1980s, with tone-perfect anecdotes and genuine readerly excitement. What Fry does, essentially, is tell us who he really is. Above all else, a thoughtful book. And namedroppy too, and funny, and marbled with melancholy' – Observer

'Arguably the greatest living Englishman' – Independent on Sunday

'Extremely enjoyable' – Sunday Times

'Fry's linguistic facility remains one of the Wildean wonders of the new media age. The patron saint of British intelligence' – Daily Telegraph
