Sent  to boarding school at the age of seven, he survived beatings, misery,  love affairs, carnal violation, expulsion, attempted suicide, criminal  conviction and imprisonment to emerge, at the age of eighteen, ready to  start over in a world in which he had always felt a stranger. One of  very few Cambridge University graduates to have been imprisoned prior to  his freshman year, Fry is a brilliantly idiosyncratic character who  continues to attract controversy, empathy and real devotion.From the Trade Paperback edition.
