The book is a continuation from the end of his 1997 publication, Moab Is My Washpot: An Autobiography, and the 2010 The Fry Chronicles: An Autobiography. It contains an overview of these previous two volumes, and an account of Fry's later cocaine addiction, chiefly covering the years 1986–93. Other major topics include Fry's writing of The Hippopotamus, his work on the TV series A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Jeeves and Wooster and Blackadder Goes Forth; the radio series Saturday Night Fry; and the films Peter's Friends and Stalag Luft.
