DIARY OF AN OXYGEN THIEF


Excerpt:

Hurt people hurt people

Say 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 honest hilarious and heartrending but above all a very real account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.

Review:

I don't know whether to be flattered or outraged but as I read these pages I felt gratitude. It's hard to find work so drenched in honesty and I was glad for the chance to read it. I think the author is a decent unafraid writer, and that's rare. And as an editor I think the writing demonstrates a raw honesty and humour. First he steals the oxygen from you, then he spits it back in your face. One of the most interesting and controversial encounters I've made through a book.

Lorenzo di Rita, Editor in Chief at COLORS Magazine, Rome

Anonymous is originally Irish but has lived in London, Minneapolis, New York and presently Amsterdam. Before this he worked for many years as a creative director in the advertising industry.
