«How to Lose Friends and Alienate People» is a memoir by Toby Young, published by Da Capo Press in paperback (368 pages, in English).
Toby Young lands a job at Vanity Fair and moves to New York. His memoir recounts with humour and self-criticism his fall down Manhattan's social ladder: parties, vain colleagues and a chain of mistakes that turn his dream into a disaster. The work is a satire of the cult of fame and of journalism.
2008 edition linked to the eponymous film starring Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst and Jeff Bridges. First volume in Toby Young's memoir series.
For readers interested in satirical memoirs, journalism and life in New York.
