Quietly Hostile Essays by Samantha Irby

A much-anticipated, hilarious new essay collection from an unabashed fan-favourite, Samantha Irby invites us to share in the gory particulars of her real life, all that festers behind the glitter and glam
“Stay-up-all-night, miss-your-subway-stop, spit-out-your-beverage funn... irresistible as a snack tray, as intimately pleasurable as an Irish goodbye.”  -  Jia Tolentino 

Beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wow, No Thank You, Samantha Irby has returned to the printed page with a much-anticipated new collection of side-splitting essays, and not a moment too soon. Irby’s career has taken her to new heights. She dodges calls from Hollywood and flop sweats on the red carpet at premieres (well, one premiere). But nothing is ever as it seems online, where she can crop out all the ugly parts. 

Filled with such unabashed gems as advice for the bathroom etiquette you were dying to know but always too afraid to ask about and an exposé on how to speak with an actual teenager, Quietly Hostile makes light as Irby takes us on another outrageously funny tour of all the gory details that make up the true portrait of life behind the screenshotted depression memes. 

Relatable, poignant, and uproarious, once again, Samantha Irby is the tonic we all need to get by.
