Moab Is My Washpot: An Autobiography

In this gay coming-of-age memoir, the author of "The Liar" tells the hilarious, shocking, and poignant story of his first 20 years: the horrors of English public school, the chaos of first love and puberty, even thievery and prison. "The New Yorker" calls Fry a "master of provocative tangents."

Renaissance man extraordinaire Stephen Fry has been entertaining us through books, film, theater, and television for years. By turns hilarious, shocking, and poignant, Moab Is My Washpot tells the real story of his first twenty years: the horrors of English public school, the chaos of first love and puberty, even thievery and prison. Compulsively readable and as brilliant and controversial as its author, it may well become a classic gay coming-of-age memoir.
