Non-Fiction Memoir
In 1995 high-flying British journalist Toby Young left
London for New York to become a contributing editor at
Vanity Fair. Other Brits had taken
Manhattan--Alistair Cooke, Tina Brown, Anna Wintour--so why
couldn't he?But things didn't quite go according to plan.
Within the space of two years he was fired from Vanity
Fair, banned from the most fashionable bar in the city,
and couldn't get a date for love or money. Even the local AA
group wanted nothing to do with him.How to Lose Friends
and Alienate People is Toby Young's hilarious and
best-selling account of the five years he spent looking for
love in all the wrong places and steadily working his way
down the New York food chain, from glossy magazine editor to
crash-test dummy for interactive sex toys. A seditious
attack on the culture of celebrity from inside the belly of
the beast, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People is
also a "nastily funny read." --USA Today
