The Fry Chronicles
Spanning 1979-1987, The Fry Chronicles charts Stephen's arrival at Cambridge up to his thirtieth birthday. Heartbreaking, a delight, a lovely, comfy book . ( The Times ). 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 ).
