Biographie de la faim

"Hunger, that's me." This Biography of Hunger, of this insatiable desire, of this quest that never ends, Amélie Nothomb declines it in all its forms, from delight to horror, with brilliance, pain, love, humor and lucidity, to express this terrible paradox of existence. It emanates a power of vision, a fatal perception where the absolute and its derision rub shoulders. It is a dazzling self-exposure where the author is the subject of her work and which proves how much Amélie Nothomb is one of our great contemporary authors.
