How To Lose Friends & Alienate People

This hilarious memoir follows British journalist Toby Young as he attempts to conquer New York City after landing a dream job at Vanity Fair. Instead of a swift rise to the top, Young documents his spectacular five-year decline—marked by social gaffes, professional disasters, and getting banned from the city's most elite bars.
It is a sharp, self-deprecating satire of the celebrity-obsessed culture of the 1990s, offering a "behind-the-scenes" look at the glossy world of Manhattan magazines from the perspective of a man who managed to alienate almost everyone in it.
