But things did not go according to plan. Within the space of two years he was fired from "Vanity Fair", banned from the most fashionable bar in the city, and couldn't get a date for love or money. Even the local AA group wanted nothing to do with him.

This book is absolutely hilarious; the author really bared his soul and all his humiliations and dressing - downs made me love him even more! I kept thinking Toby, if you'd been looking for women who love great, witty and meaningful writing, you would have been besieged.
