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.

Eunuchs and Nymphomaniacs is about how we love today and how increasingly we try to avoid it altogether.
