1. Moab is my Washpot
Moab is My Washpot is in turns funny, shocking, tender, delicious, sad, lyrical,
bruisingly frank and addictively readable.
Stephen Fry.s bestselling memoir tells how, sent to a boarding school 200 miles
from home at the age of seven, he survived beatings, misery, love, ecstasy,
carnal violation, expulsion, imprisonment, criminal conviction, probation and
catastrophe to emerge, at eighteen, ready to try and face the world in which
he had always felt a stranger.
When he was fifteen, he wrote this in a letter to himself, not to be read until
he was twenty-five:
'Well I tell you now that everything I feel now, everything I am now is truer
and better than anything I shall ever be. Ever. This is me now, the real me.
Every day that I grow away from the me that is writing this now is a betrayal
and a defeat.'
Whether the real Stephen Fry is the man now living, or the extraordinary
adolescent now dead, only you will be able to decide.
2. The Fry Chronicles
Thirteen years ago, Moab is my Washpot, Stephen Fry.s autobiography of his
early years, was published to rave reviews and was a huge bestseller. In those
thirteen years since, Stephen Fry has moved into a completely new stratosphere,
both as a public figure, and a private man. Now he is not just a multi-award-
winning comedian and actor, but also an author, director and presenter.
In January 2010, he was awarded the Special Recognition Award at the National
Television Awards. Much loved by the public and his peers, Stephen Fry is one
of the most influential cultural forces in the country. This dazzling memoir
promises to be a courageously frank, honest and poignant read. It will detail
some of the most turbulent and least well known years of his life with writing
that will excite you, make you laugh uproariously, move you, inform you and,
above all, surprise you.
3. Mrs Fry's Diary
Stephen Fry's secret wife speaks out at last...Enjoyed a nice cuppa this
morning with a HobNob & Jeremy Kyle. There was a woman on there who'd been
married 16 years without realising her husband was gay. Extraordinary! Which
reminds me, it's our 16th.
