How to Lose Friends and Alienate People

by  Toby Young

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

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, banned from the most fashionable bar in the city, and couldn't get a date for love or money.

Now How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, the hilarious and bestselling account of the five years Toby spent looking for love in all the wrong places and steadily working his way down the New York food chain, is about to be released as a major motion picture starring Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst, and Jeff Bridges.
