Diary of an Oxygen Thief
Author: Anonymous
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501157868
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Hurt people hurt people. Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer’s assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City. He’s blinded by love. She by ambition. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.
