Daniel Sloss

This is the Pandora's Box of self-help books.

What a book. Smart, acerbic, and incredibly funny. I suggest you read it.

The only thing wrong with this book is that at my age everyone I hate is already dead.

Everyone You Hate... turns out to be a very enjoyable read, unsurprisingly. Written in the rhythm of a seasoned comedian's set, there are laughs liberally sprinkled, serious bits with elements of self-examination, and the impression that each carefully placed word has simply come to him in conversation. Just like any good Edinburgh show.

Sloss offers insights on toxic masculinity, gender and sexuality that are at once deliciously dark, hilarious and profound.

His bits teem with curse words, wicked daydreams...But the slapstick is a preamble: Sloss's signature move is a pivot to vulnerability.

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.

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.

[Sloss is] dirty, sweet and clever.
