The Sunday Times Bestseller
Raven Smith has been 32 for several years and lives in London with his husband and cat. The former Vogue and Sunday Times columnist is quoted by many as the funniest person on Instagram, which does nothing to minimise his ego. This is his first book.
‘The unofficial spokesperson of the modern millennial'
SUNDAY TIMES ‘STYLE’ MAGAZINE ‘Funny, interrogating, refreshingly
self-aware and irresistibly readable: Raven Smith has written a
hilarious, relatable guide to the contradictions and complications
of modern life’
DOLLY ALDERTON ‘It’s rare a writer is as funny in their prose as
they are in their social media. But Raven is that rare author who
is somehow even better, as he tartly explores pop culture and its
influence on his inner life. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll
wonder if you’re really just another millennial a**hole on this
guided tour of Raven’s beautiful, singular and deeply hilarious
mind.’
LENA DUNHAM ‘Raven Smith’s writing is as current as it is
biting!’
Candice Carty-Williams Fresh, funny and fabulous!’
JONATHAN ROSS ‘Raven Smith is rollickingly good fun and Britain's
sassiest social commentator. Trivial Pursuits is a linguistic acid
trip and a showcase of his ability to shape even the most useless
piece of information into something riveting.’
PANDORA SYKES ‘It’s unlike anything I’ve ever read…in a good way!
I’m laughing out loud, wincing in recognition and shaking my head
in wonderment about some of the batshit metaphors that shouldn’t
work but do!’ ELIZABETH DAY ‘It’s hilarious. The funny stuff made
me do small wheezes and the honest stuff made me wish I could write
so boldly. The chapter on long term partnerships made me feel
strangely like I wanted to go and hug my sleeping husband and I
reached the end furious that there wasn’t more to come…I feel like
he wrote it from inside my brain but only if my brain was cleverer
and more articulate.’
BELLA MACKIE Smith is a scandalous, Wildean libertine with an
Instagram account to match and his book, a guide to life, is a
naughty little firecracker. DEBORAH FRANCES WHITE
