In 1995 high-flying British journalist Toby Young left London for NY to become adding editor at Vanity Rational. Other Brits had used Manhattan—Alistair Cooke then, Anna Wintour now—so why couldn’t he? But things didn’t go quite matching to plan. Within the area of 2 yrs he was fired from Vanity Rational, banned from the most elegant bar in the town, and couldn't get a night out for love or money. Even the local AA group required nothing in connection with him.How to Lose Friends and Alienate People is Toby Young's amusing profile of the five years he spent looking for love in all the wrong places and continuously working his way down the New York food chain, from glossy newspaper editor to crash-test dummy for interactive sex toys. But it’s more than “the longest self-deprecating joke since the complete works of Woody Allen” (Sunday Times); it’s also a seditious attack on the culture of movie star from inside the stomach of the beast. And there’s a good happy ending as Toby Young marries—"for proper non-cynical reasons,” as he puts it—the woman of his dreams. “Some people are fortunate to stumble over the right path straight away; the majority of us only discover what the correct one is by going down the wrong one first.”
