{ "item_title" : "More Fool Me", "item_author" : [" "], "item_description" : "The British comedian recounts the highs and lows of his wild years: A gifted writer with a perfect sense of comic timing and anecdote-spinning . . . Lots of fun. —Kirkus Reviews By his early thirties, Stephen Fry—writer, comedian, star of stage and screen—had, as they say, made it. Much loved on British television, author of a critically acclaimed and bestselling first novel, with a glamorous and glittering cast of friends, he had more work than was perhaps good for him. As the '80s drew to a close, he began to burn the candle at both ends. Writing and recording by day, and haunting a never-ending series of celebrity parties, drinking dens, and poker games by night, he was 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 . . . Filled with 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. Fry is an astonishingly charming fellow: erudite, playful and capable of writing in a style so intimate that readers can picture themselves sitting next to him at a splendid dinner party as he rather one-sidedly entertains the entire table. —Slate", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers2/ebook/87/22/9781468312287_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "10.20", "our_price" : "10.20", "club_price" : "10.20", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "club_savings_amt" : "0", "club_savings_pct" : "0" } }
