In his early thirties,Stephen Fry - writer,comedian,star of stage and screen - had,as they say,'made it'.What could possibly go wrongAs the 80s drew to a close,he discovered a most enjoyable way to burn the candle at both ends,and took to excess like a duck to breadcrumbs. Writing and recording by day,and haunting a never ending series of celebrity parties,drinking dens,and poker games by night,he fooled all those except the very closest to him.He was - to all intents and purposes - a high functioning addict - he was so busy,so distracted by the high life,that he could hardly see the inevitable,headlong tumble that must surely follow . . .Containing raw,electric extracts from his diaries of the time,More Fool Me is a brilliant,eloquent account by a man driven to create and to entertain - revealing a side to him he has long kept hidden.
