Moab Is My Washpot

A number one bestseller in Britain, Stephen Fry's candid and humorous memoir has captivated fans worldwide. Since his debut in the Blackadder series, Fry's profile has steadily risen, particularly after his acclaimed role in the film Wilde, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination. In this memoir, he shares the tumultuous life experiences that inspired his earlier autobiographical novel, "The Liar." Sent to boarding school at just seven, Fry endured beatings, misery, love affairs, carnal violation, expulsion, attempted suicide, and imprisonment, emerging at eighteen ready to navigate a world where he often felt like an outsider. Remarkably, he is one of the few Cambridge University graduates who was imprisoned before starting college. Fry’s unique character continues to evoke controversy, empathy, and loyalty. This extraordinary memoir has been praised for its "tragic grandeur" and is described as both shocking and deeply affecting. Fry's autobiography, filled with humor and raw honesty, has the potential to become a classic gay coming-of-age story.
