The Liar by Stephen Fry

The Liar by Stephen Fry

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. Stephen Fry's breathtakingly outrageous debut novel, by turns eccentric, shocking, brilliantly comic and achingly romantic. 'Hilarious' Literary Review 'Sublime' Cosmopolitan

A quite brilliant first novel * Sunday Times *
The Liar is hilarious - page after page of the most outrageous and often filthy jokes, delicious conceits, instant, brilliant ripostes that would only occur to ordinary mortals after days of teeth-grinding lunacy * Literary Review *
Brilliantly entertaining and consistently outrageous * Daily Mail *
