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.
Unabridged. Read by Stephen Fry.

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung | Besprechung von 02.10.2011Bücher Wie herrlich, wie höflich, dass Stephen Fry - Entschuldigen Sie bitte, es muss natürlich der Große Stephen Fry heißen - eine neue Autobiographie geschrieben hat: die Fortsetzung von "Columbus war ein Engländer", das waren die Jugendjahre des Schriftstellerschauspielerkomikers als Kreditkartenbetrüger, Schulschwänzer und Neunmalkluger. "Ich bin so fry" (Aufbau, 22,99 Euro) erzählt jetzt davon, wie es weiterging, wo er Hugh Laurie traf, warum er Pfeife raucht und Oscar zu Wilde sagen darf, und er erzählt das höflich und lustig und so englisch-umständlich: Gut, dass da noch mehr Leben folgt, über das Fry schreiben kann, aber falls das heißen sollte, dass er mit den Romanen abgeschlossen hat: schade.
