Stephen Fry: How I Write | Heroes: The followup to the bestselling Mythos

Courtesy of our friends at Penguin, here's the incomparable Stephen Fry on his writing process and his new book Heroes. From what time he wakes up to the software he uses, Fry spills the beans on how he researched and wrote his followup to the bestselling Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold.
Following the success of Mythos, Fry now turns his attention to the heroes of Greek mythology, and retells their escapades with elegance and wit. Follow Heracles on his labours; solve the Sphinx' riddle with Oedipus; hold your breath as Theseus faces the Minotaur-this is an unforgettable, bite-your-nails-off epic that sparkles with new life under Fry’s virtuosic pen.

Loved both Mythos and Heroes . I do hope he writes more such books on Greek mythology . I love to read about myths of various cultures and civilizations and these two tomes are unputdownable 😊

I would like a third book about the Trojan War.

I love how he says to just throw words at it. The whole video is educational and inspirational to me. Thanks!

Oh, Stephen, thank you for those words from your heart. I understand that there are many sources of Greek information. But you, dear, choose the “right” information and then put your own hilarious spin on it, where, while we’re listening and hearing, we’re also learning. I find that if I receive information and knowledge in that vein, I retain so much more. You’re such a treasure to us, dear. My love to you...always😊🧡

I also write with the habits of a lark. Your books are great. Enunciation needs care. Can we hear every word?
