Moab is My Washpot D/Piece Exp - Softcover
STEPHEN FRY GRABS YOU BY THE EARS and does not let you go in 3 hours of explosive self-revelation. Sent away to boarding school 200 miles from home at the age of 7, he survives beatings, misery, love, carnal violation, expulsions and imprisonment-lying, cheating and stealing his way to the bottom. The private face of the public man is revealed in his own words and voice in an autobiography that is by turns funny, shocking, tender, sad, bruisingly frank and always ear-probing compulsive. Actor, writer, broadcaster, thief and hopeless romantic, Stephen Fry`s voice brings ti life hia extraordinary unauthorised autobiography.

Review:
Advance praise for Moab Is My Washpot: "This book bubbles; it boils and it bubbles with wonderful language, quick wit, and loopy digression that always leads you home again. Fry often seems to speak before he thinks, only to discover what he is thinking so he can go on speaking again. I say 'speaks' instead of 'writes' because you can always hear his wonderfully lyrical (English) voice in this book, and that voice is delightfully irreverent, cozy, smart, funny and insightfully honest. His voice is a great read. It's like a fun visit with a smart (Semitic) Brit. I hear you talking, Mr. Fry!"--Spalding Gray"From the Hardcover edition."
Book Description:
Stephen Fry`s autobiography will be incredibly frank-and frankly incredible.
