Everyone You Hate is Going to Die: And Other Comforting Thoughts on Family, Friends, Sex, Love, and More Things That Ruin Your Life

Daniel Sloss's comedy engages, offends and makes people uncomfortable, and it is utterly hilarious - all at the same time. In this book, Sloss lays out his views on just about every conceivable kind of relationship between two people - with lovers, ex-lovers, ex-lovers who you hate, ex-lovers who hate you, parents, best friends (male and female), not-best friends, children, and siblings - and even with countries ('Countries are People Too, Just Bigger and Even Worse' is a stand out chapter on Scotland and England, and why the author is definitely NOT English). Every relationship gets the full, inimitable Sloss treatment as he explains why each one is fragile and ridiculous and awful - but, just maybe, also valuable and meaningful. In any case, one way or the other, under his pen they are all hilarious.
