Samantha Irby's 'Quietly Hostile': A Survival Guide with Secrets.
TL;DR
Samantha Irby's new memoir, Quietly Hostile, is a survival guide of sorts, chronicling her rise as a TV writer, her mental health struggles, and her bowel movements. Irby, who has made a career out of writing about personal topics and spinning them into comedy, says she has to be prepared for her writing to follow her for a long time. The book's title was inspired by her own public persona, which she describes as a "constant low-grade frustration with everything" wrapped in "an outer shield of Midwestern politeness and charm."
