Drawing from original tapes and notebooks across two decades of journalism, the author strips away every polished public relations defense.
Strauss catches icons of pop culture at their most absurd and vulnerable, whether ducking flying beer bottles with Julian Casablancas or watching Tom Cruise smash a fist into a microwave clock.
These unvarnished dispatches follow the author as he rides shotgun with Snoop Dogg through Claremont in search of diapers and barbecue sauce.
With his groundbreaking book The Game, Strauss penetrated the secret society of pickup artists; now, in Everyone Loves You When You’re Dead, his candid, surprising, and often hysterical interviews reveal the hidden sides of 120 of the world’s biggest celebrities, from Hugh Heffner to Johnny Cash to Snoop Dogg and beyond.
