Stephen Fry is a multitalented phenomenon. A director, actor, broadcaster, comedian, and writer, he first became well-known in the 1980s as half of a comedy duo with Hugh Laurie and then in the late 1980s in Blackadder with Rowan Atkinson. Since then, he’s appeared in many films including Wilde, The Hobbit, and Alice in Wonderland as well as many TV series, theater productions, and quiz shows. Fry’s writing is similarly prolific. Since his first novel, The Liar, he’s gone on to write more fiction and several nonfiction titles. He’s also been a columnist for the Listener, the Daily Telegraph, and the Guardian.
