The movie tie-in edition of Toby Young’s bestselling memoir of self-sabotage at Vanity Fair

With a major motion picture of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People about to be released (starring Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst, and Jeff Bridges), there has never been a better time to savor this laugh-out-loud memoir from everyone’s favorite “professional failurist.” In his dishy assault on New York’s A-list, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, Toby Young lands a job at Vanity Fair-and proceeds to work his way down Manhattan’s food chain.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times, 10/02/08
“I have been a follower of the real Toby Young for years. He is much more preposterous than "Sidney Young," the hero of this film, which is based on Toby's memoir…He is a very funny writer, often providing inspiring material for himself….”How to Lose Friends & Alienate People" is possibly the best movie that could be made about Toby Young that isn't rated NC-17…In a boring old world, such people are to be prized.”

Toby Young has been fired from a succession of prestigious newspapers and magazines. He lives in London.
