Title: Liar
First published: September 1991
Description: "Stephen Fry's breathtakingly outrageous debut novel is by turns eccentric, shocking, brilliantly comic and achingly romantic.  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.  The Liar is a thrilling, sophisticated and laugh-out-loud hilarious novel from a brilliantly talented writer"--
