By the time Stephen Fry arrived at Cambridge, he had already been a convicted thief, battled addiction, and survived a failed suicide attempt. Expecting expulsion, he instead found a world that welcomed his wit and talent. University life brought him love, lifelong friendships with people like Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson, and opportunities to shine on stage and screen.
In The Fry Chronicles, Fry recounts his twenties with humor, honesty, and charm. From early roles in Blackadder and A Bit of Fry and Laurie to behind-the-scenes tales of champagne-fueled escapades, he explores both the glamour and the struggles of his rise to fame.
This memoir is warm, scandalous, and sharply observed, revealing the man behind the public persona in his own inimitable voice.
