More Fool Me: A Memoir

<p><strong>Stephen Fry invites readers to take a glimpse at his life story in the unputdownable More Fool Me</strong></p> By his early thirties, Stephen Fry―writer, comedian, star of stage and screen―had, as they say, “made it.” Much loved on British television, author of a critically acclaimed and bestselling first novel, with a glamorous and glittering cast of friends, he had more work than was perhaps good for him.<br /><br /> As the ’80s drew to a close, he began to burn the candle at both ends. Writing and recording by day, and haunting a neverending series of celebrity parties, drinking dens, and poker games by night, he was a high functioning addict. He was so busy, so distracted by the high life, that he could hardly see the inevitable, headlong tumble that must surely follow . . .<br /><br /> Filled with raw, electric extracts from his diaries of the time, More Fool Me is a brilliant, eloquent account by a man driven to create and to entertain―revealing a side to him he has long kept hidden. 4 8-page color inserts
