Contradictions of a Chainsmoker

Meer over het boek

Alya H is both a brilliant writer and a troubled soul. Very much part of the current zeitgeist in the 21st century, she suffers and lives in equal measure, feeling intensely every emotion including the utter blankness that comes upon any thinking person in this modern world. Inspired by people on TV, in films, by writers and poets, Alya H has constructed a kind of ode to the 21st-century adult. Every person who has lived and felt will recognise themselves in the sometimes absurd, often sad and at times darkly funny diatribe against life and a search for meaning in a pressurised and lonely world. Should be prescribed reading for every young adult.
