The Car Thief
Hailed by The Boston Globe as "so poignant and beautifully written, so true and painful, that one can't read it without feeling the knife's cruel blade in the heart," The Car Thief was first published to enormous popularity, and sold over half a million copies. Alex Housman is a kid who at the age of sixteen has had fourteen cars, harbors many hurts, and seems to fade into his environment while raging inside. His father is an alcoholic, losing his grip on life even as he wants the best for his son. The Car Thief explores the love Alex and his father share, in a tremendously poignant story that is filled with unusual triumphs.
The Car Thief
Alex steals another car and doesn’t know why. His father grinds out the night shift, looking forward to booze at the end. Alex fills his day juggling cheap thrills and depression, whilst needing the admiration of a particular girl in order to get by. Alex and his father face the realities of estrangement, incarceration, and even violence.
