I want to meet Mr Fry because I’d like to tell him that his book Moab is My Washpot helped me in understanding what I wanted to be, by showing me what I did not want to be.
Moab is My Washpot turned my perception of the white, privately educated middle classes that I so longed to be completely on its head. For Stephen was rich and witty and clever and all the things I wanted to be, yet he was deeply unhappy, criminalistic and essentially a rather unlikeable character. Made me realise that glorious intelligence and witty sparkle without morality is worthless.
And I think that A Bit of Fry and Laurie is well funny.
