It was published in 2008 by William Heinemann. Plot summaryThe novel is set in 1997 at the height of the Britpop music scene. The protagonist, Steven Stelfox, is unhappy about his current position as an A&R agent in the record company he works for in London. Stelfox, uninterested in most music, is jealous of his coworkers' success in finding successful musical acts and attempts to climb the career ladder amidst competition. Critical responseThe protagonist and plot have been compared to American Psycho and been described as "mad, gleeful nastiness".[1] The work is considered satirical, and is described as an "all-out assault" by The Independent,[2] and as having "the horrible, slightly metallic tang of total authenticity" by the Philadelphia Weekly.[3] Film adaptation{{main article|Kill Your Friends (film)}}A feature film has been made based on the novel, directed by Owen Harris, with a script written by John Niven. Nicholas Hoult, Craig Roberts, Tom Riley, and Georgia King star in the film.[4] References1. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/jan/31/kill-your-friends-review |title=Mad, gleeful nastiness |first=Jane |last=Housham |date=31 January 2009 |newspaper=The Guardian |accessdate=18 July 2017}} {{2000s-crime-novel-stub}}2. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/kill-your-friends-by-john-niven-780982.html |first=Jonathan |last=Gibbs |title=Kill Your Friends, by John Niven |date=12 February 2008 |newspaper=The Independent |accessdate=18 July 2017}} 3. ^{{cite magazine |url=http://www.philadelphiaweekly.com/arts-and-culture/books/Give-Up-43378587.html |first=Steven |last=Wells |title=Kill Your Friends |date=21 April 2009 |magazine=Philadelphia Weekly |accessdate=18 July 2017 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924072329/http://www.philadelphiaweekly.com/arts-and-culture/books/Give-Up-43378587.html |archivedate=24 September 2015}} 4. ^{{cite magazine |last=Barraclough |first=Leo |title=Music Biz Satire 'Kill Your Friends' Starts to Shoot in London |url=https://variety.com/2014/film/news/music-biz-satire-kill-your-friends-starts-to-shoot-in-london-1201128555/ |magazine=Variety |date=10 March 2014 |accessdate=11 March 2014 }} 8 : Scottish novels|2008 British novels|1997 in fiction|Novels set in London|Debut novels|Heinemann (publisher) books|Novels set in the 1990s|British novels adapted into films |
