The Liar (novel)
''The Liar'' (published 1991) is the first novel of British writer and actor Stephen Fry. 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.
==Book structure==
The book follows protagonist Adrian Healey's public school days through to his adult life: Adrian is the "liar" of the title. The early chapters are not in strict chronological order, but are interlaced stories from three periods of the protagonist's life, namely, as a public school pupil, as a Cambridge student and as a "spy".
Initially the espionage portion of the book is written in italics, which stop upon Adrian's graduation. The book features a third-person omniscient narrator. The narrator knows, for example, about David Pearce's annoyance at Dickon Lister's ignorance of the story of Helen of Troy. Starting with chapter four, in keeping with popular spy fiction, the characters refer to each other by code names; in this case, the names used are from the Trojan War.
