Looks like we might have another celebrity-turned-travel-writer on our hands. British comedian Stephen Fry recently made his way to all 50 American states, and the resulting BBC mini-series (and accompanying book) lands in the U.K. this month. The American release isn’t until January, but the British papers offer a tantalizing preview of Fry’s mixture of humor and thoughtfulness.

From the Guardian: A video interview with Fry about how he was “very nearly an American,” with clips from the BBC series. The Independent asks him about his best and worst travel memories (“Every one of the United States seduced me ... Even Ohio has its points”), while the Telegraph has an excerpt from the book, covering his time in New York state.
