Spanning 1979-1987, this title charts the author's arrival at Cambridge up to his thirtieth birthday.

A grand reminiscence of college and theatre and comedyland in the 1980s, with tone-perfect anecdotes and genuine readerly excitement. Stephen Fry writes in perfect prose and with excrutiating honesty, essentially,about who he really is. Above all else,it is a thoughtful book, namedroppy, too, funny, and marbled with melancholy' Observer.
