Books like More fool me by Stephen Fry


In *More Fool Me*, Stephen Fry reflects on the period when, in his early thirties, he had "made it" as a celebrated writer, comedian, and television personality. The book draws on raw diary excerpts to portray an era of relentless work‑life balance, glamorous celebrity parties, poker sessions, and barrooms that drove him toward a high‑functioning addiction. Fry’s candid account offers a glimpse into the hidden side of a man who, at the height of his success, was consumed by the excesses and demands of the burgeoning 1980s British entertainment scene.
