Fry defines himself a Jack of All Trades, berating himself for what his fans would call a wonderful diversity of talents. In fact a surprising amount of self-berating goes on in this honest account of his complex young self, of course written with immense verbal dexterity and wit. By the end I was rather bored by the endless list of performers and performances but I gobbled up most of it with the greatest interest and delight.
