More Fool Me is a brilliant, eloquent account by a man driven to create and to entertain—revealing a dark side he has long kept hidden. By his early thirties, Stephen Fry— television darling and critically acclaimed and bestselling author with a coterie of equally talented friends—had, as they say, “made it.”
Writing and recording by day, and haunting a never-ending series of celebrity parties by night, he was a high functioning addict in both work and play. He was so distracted by the high life that he could hardly see the inevitable, headlong tumble that must... more More Fool Me is a brilliant, eloquent account by a man driven to create and to entertain—revealing a dark side he has long kept hidden.

Greg JamesI read this a few weeks ago and it’s brilliant.
Women will naturally be drawn to this but it REALLY needs to be read by men. A book like this feels ridiculously overdue. I gasped a lot, I laughed a lot and I learnt a lot too. It’s great https://t.co/JD0BRPPPb4 (Source)
Jess BrammarLoved celebrating @Emmabarnett’s brilliant new book tonight - on periods, and how we shouldn’t be ashamed of them. Hurrah. Others still celebrating, but I had to slope off early due to news-related exhaustion. I blame the patriarchy. https://t.co/NqrBUohlB4 (Source)

In 1994 fledgling journalist Louis Theroux was given a one-off gig on Michael Moore's TV Nation, presenting a segment on apocalyptic religious sects. Gawky, socially awkward and totally unqualified, his first reaction to this exciting opportunity was panic. But he'd always been drawn to off-beat characters, so maybe his enthusiasm would carry the day. Or, you know, maybe it wouldn't...

In Gotta Get Theroux This, Louis takes the reader on a joyous journey through his life and unexpectedly successful career. Nervously accepting the BBC's offer of his own series, he went on to create an award-winning documentary style that has seen him immersed in worlds as diverse as racist US militias and secretive pro-wrestlers, the violent gangs of Johannesburg and extreme drinkers in London.
Arguably his biggest challenge was corralling celebrities in his When Louis Met series, with Jimmy Savile proving most elusive. Blindsided when the revelations about Savile came to light, Louis was to reflect again on the nature of evil he had spent decades uncovering.
Filled with wry observation, larger-than-life characters, and self-deprecating humour, this is Louis at his insightful and honest best. less Giles Paleyphillips@elizabday @mrjamesob the wonderful @louistheroux has a new book out this year, make sure you pre-order your copies, it's going to be amazing https://t.co/6PZ7vfkSja #60MinutesofAmazing (Source)
Seann Walsh@louistheroux Enjoyed the book. Made me laugh out loud. Hope you enjoy whatever fraction you get of what I paid for it. Thanks. (Source)
