I have just completed the fourth interview in the “Book Corner” playlist.
Fiona discusses Stephen Fry’s second autobiography ‘ the fry chronicles’.
Stephen Fry is very much in self-reflection mode and is more than willing to pull away the veil of show business to reveal the self-doubt and excitement that seems to come in equal measure when dealing with such a fickle animal.
Now he much loved and admired across the globe that it is hard to see that there should have been any doubt in his mind.
This is, above all else, a thoughtful book. And namedroppy too, and funny, and marbled with melancholy throughout. Its camaraderie of tone lets it wear its learning lightly yet leaves you with a hoaching number of new insights, new ways of looking at things, from snobbery to reality-TV contestants.
