Klappentext zu „Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die “
From one of today's hottest young comedians, a transgressive and hilarious deep dive into his favorite subject: relationshipsDaniel Sloss's comedy engages, enrages, offends, unsettles, educates, comforts, and gets audiences roaring with laughter--all at the same time. He has two Netflix comedy specials: DARK, a brilliant, laugh-out-loud meditation on our relationship with death, and Jigsaw, which needles apart the ideas of love, romantic relationships, and marriage--and, according to Sloss, singlehandedly caused 185 divorces and 95,000 breakups (he's got the tweets to back up those numbers). His HBO special, Daniel Sloss Live: X, is a miraculous 85 minutes on the topic of male toxicity. Now, in his first book, he picks up where Jigsaw and his other specials left off, and goes after every conceivable kind of relationship--with one's country (Daniel's is Scotland), with America, with lovers, ex-lovers, ex-lovers who you hate, ex-lovers who hate you, with parents, with best friends (male and female), not-best friends, with children, and with siblings. In Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die, every relationship gets the hilarious, brutal (but always incisive) Sloss treatment as he explains why all of our relationships are fragile and ridiculous and awful--but, just maybe, also valuable and meaningful.
Autoren-Porträt von Daniel Sloss
DANIEL SLOSS finds About the Author descriptions wanky and outdated. He would just like you to watch his fucking comedy specials. The publisher, on the other hand, would like you to know that Daniel Sloss is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning Scottish comedian and writer. He has created eleven solo shows, toured them in theaters, music venues, and arenas across fifty countries to rave reviews, and his specials, including X on HBO as well as DARK and Jigsaw, on Netflix, can be seen in a total of 190 countries. Despite the relationship and marital mayhem he has caused, Sloss still believes in love. Sloss is thirty and lives in Scotland, his "forever home."

Pressezitat
This is the Pandora's Box of self-help books. Conan O'Brien When I was told that Daniel Sloss had written a book, I was immensely interested since I d resented him already by watching his standup specials for his quick wit and free-associative irreverent style that I thought I d originated. Spoiler alert: Don t be disappointed if, by reading this book, everyone you hate doesn t die, but what a title. And what a book. It s smart, acerbic, and incredibly funny. I suggest you read it. And anything else Daniel sends our way. He s a very special comic mind and one that is a gift to those of us who need to hear from our best, hilarious, demented, smart friend. Bob Saget
The only thing wrong with this book is that at my age everyone I hate is already dead. Peter Bart
The funniest book I ve ever read for libel. The Alfred A. Knopf lawyer
[Sloss is] dirty, sweet and clever. Elise Czajkowski, The New York Times
Sloss uses comedy as a means to not only make his fans laugh but also to raise critical questions about the way we act . . . Christina Zhao, Newsweek
He tells jokes that are transgressive, that are shocking, that are dark enough to emphasize that he s not some kind of pious, soggy, joyless hector. Sophie Gilbert, The Atlantic
His bits teem with curse words, wicked daydreams But the slapstick is a preamble: Sloss s signature move is a pivot to vulnerability. Eren Orbey, The New Yorker
Sloss offers insights on toxic masculinity, gender and sexuality that are at once deliciously dark, hilarious and profound. Debbie Hall, Daily Record
