More copies of this ISBN:This title in other formats:The Liarby Stephen Fry
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Fry's hilarious novel has won praise from critics everywhere, and it hit the very top of bestseller lists in England. Its bisexual hero is a diabolically brilliant pathological liar with the wit of a Truman Capote and the moral compunctions of an amoeba. Review:"The spirits of Oscar Wilde and Evelyn Waugh glower benignly over this very funny first novel....[A]n ingenious plot filled with surprises....[A]n outrageously entertaining debut." Bruce Allen, The New York Times Book Review Review:"Page after page of the most outrageous and often filthy jokes, delicious conceits, instantly brilliant ripostes..." The Literary Review Review:"A huge critical and popular success in Britain...[The Liar] is coruscatingly funny, often quite shocking and profoundly irreverent....Many will find themselves helpless with laughter." Publishers Weekly Review:"[A] clever and entertaining novel that will appeal to Anglophiles with a twisted sense of humor." Library Journal Review:"Brilliant." Sunday Times (London) Review:"Despite the impishness of his humor and its Monty Python quality, Fry's jokes have a ring of seriousness....A witty and entertaining send-up." San Francisco Chronicle Review:"Smutty, naughty, and outrageously hilarious...brace yourselves for a dickens of a wicked good time." The Boston Globe Review:"The treatment throughout is manic, in-your-face, and taboo-busting in the tradition of Orton, Monty Python, and numberless graffiti artists....[D]izzyingly, peerlessly sophomoric." Kirkus Reviews About the AuthorStephen Fry has written three novels — The Liar, The Hippopotamus, and Making History — as well as an autobiography, Moab Is My Washpot. He played Peter in the film Peter's Friends, Wilde in the film Wilde, Jeeves in the BBC television series Jeeves & Wooster, and (a closely guarded show-business secret, this) Laurie in the TV series A Bit of Fry and Laurie. He divides his time between New York and his English homes in London and Norfolk. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
