Book Synopsis

**QUIETLY HOSTILE - THE HILARIOUS NEW BOOK FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR - IS AVAILABE TO PRE-ORDER NOW**

''Irby might be our great bard of quarantine.'' New York Times

In this painfully funny collection, Samantha Irby captures powerful emotional truths while chronicling the rubbish bin she calls her life. From an ill-fated pilgrimage to Nashville to scatter her estranged father's ashes to awkward sexual encounters to the world's first completely honest job application, and more, sometimes you just have to laugh, even when your life is permanently pear-shaped.

''I cannot remember the last time I was so moved by a book. As close to perfect as an essay collection can get.'' Roxane Gay
''Hilarious. I love it.'' Candice Carty-Williams
''Samantha Irby is stay-up-all-night, miss-your-subway-stop, spit-out-your-beverage funny.'' Jia Tolentino
