I have absolutely no idea if any of this book is true (it is called a "Liar's Autobiography after all). I find that I didn't care in the least while reading it and enjoyed it immensely. ( ) Lots of interesting tales from the great Graham Chapman of Monty Python fame. Chapman is very open with his private life and his sexuality and has some hilarious bon mots about Monty Python and his life. He mentions the famous medical student who was receiving a generous stipend from a relative to study so works it so he fails enough classes to stay at university and on the stipend almost indefinitely. One can only imagine the laughs we have missed out on by his untimely death so long ago now. no reviews | add a review
Has the adaptation
Graham Chapman reveals what it was like to be part of the revolutionary and zany Monty Python teamRequired reading for Monty Python fans, this true and false memoir is Graham Chapman's own hilarious account of his life as a Python and as a homosexual. The book equals Joe Orton's famous Diaries in providing an unblushing account of a gay lifestyle linked to entertainment. Full of outrageous fictions and touching truths, in telling surreal and outrageous lies Graham Chapman often uncovers a truth about himself and colleagues. The stories Chapman relates--whether as mountaineer or medical student (he was a doctor); actor or alcoholic (he was both); heterosexual groupie-guzzler or homosexual coming to terms with himself (bit of both)--form a surreal and crowded mosaic that is funny, disturbing, and moving by turns. A minor cult classic by a major comic talent. No library descriptions found. |
