The Liar (novel)
The Liar (published 1991) is Stephen Fry's first novel. The book relates the life of Adrian Healey, a public school and Oxbridge educated man who excels at lying and, along with other characters, forming an old boy's club, partakes in a makebelieve espionage game solely to avert boredom.
A film version is in development, with Fry planning to star alongside Nicholas Hoult and Ian McKellen.

Famous quotes containing the word liar:
“As one knows the poet by his fine music, so one can recognise the liar by his rich rhythmic utterance, and in neither case will the casual inspiration of the moment suffice. Here, as elsewhere, practice must precede perfection.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
