Wodehouse, P. G. (Pelham Grenville), 1881-1975
These humor writers are known for the scathing wit and elegant prose they employ to satirize British social class and cultural mores. Though Stephen Fry is more modern in the sense that he addresses sexual orientation and drug addiction, both he and P.G. Wodehouse are charmingly irreverent and outright silly. -- Mike Nilsson
Hornby, Nick
Funny essays, satirical fiction, and witty social commentaries have endeared Nick Hornby to a myriad of readers. While his sense of humor isn't quite a dry as Stephen Fry's, he still regales readers with engaging stories, relatable characters, and social oddities. -- Krista Biggs
Palin, Michael
Michael Palin and Stephen Fry bring a dry, Monty Python-esque sense of humor to their writing. Both authors use humor to lighten their social critiques and satire. Additionally, both authors use their understanding of society and extensive travels to frame their books. -- Krista Biggs
