The Liar
The Liar | Stephen Fry
5 posts | 20 read | 14 to read
The brilliant and outrageous debut novel from British actor, comedian, author, presenter, journalist and national treasure, Stephen Fry. Stephen Fry's breathtakingly outrageous debut novel, by turns eccentric, shocking, brilliantly comic and achingly romantic. Adrian Healey is magnificently unprepared for the long littleness of life; unprepared too for the afternoon in Salzburg when he will witness the savage murder of a Hungarian violinist; unprepared to learn about the Mendax device; unprepared for more murders and wholly unprepared for the truth. The Liar is a thrilling, sophisticated and laugh out loud hilarious novel from a brilliantly talented writer.

Somewhere between a coming of age story and a very silly spy story and at least semi-autobiographical. There are some excellent one liners and some hilarious set pieces. I particularly liked the cricket scene.

Centique Stephen Fry just might be my spirit animal so I‘m going to have to read this 😍 5y

PS: I don't think this quote is from the tagged book, but it still seemed fitting.
