Description Conducive To Books Biographie de la faim

“La faim, c’est moi”, proclame Amélie Nothomb. Dans Biographie de la faim, la surdouée belge poursuit le récit de sa vie amorcé dans Stupeurs et tremblements et Métaphysique des tubes. La faim, chez Amélie Nothomb, n’est pas que physique. Elle est surtout “ce manque effroyable de l’être entier, ce vide tenaillant (…) là où il n’y a rien, j’implore qu’il y ait quelque chose.” Ce quelque chose sera pour elle l’écriture. À 37 ans, elle a déjà publié une douzaine de romans et ses tiroirs regorgent de manuscrits. Biographie de la faim raconte aussi les années d’apprentissage de l’auteure au Japon – où elle est née –, à New York, au Bangladesh, en Birmanie et au Laos, où elle a suivi ses parents diplomates. À trois ans, elle découvre “la surfaim (…) la possession du principe même de la jouissance”. De façon brillante et décalée, Amélie Nothomb explique comment lui est venu cet insatiable appétit pour absolument tout : l’eau, l’alcool, l’amour, la lecture, la beauté, l’absolu. Elle raconte aussi comment le deuil de l’enfance a brouillé pour toujours son rapport avec la nourriture.

Appraise Of Books Biographie de la faim

2.5 stars**While to Nothomb everything may click together as it is the story of her life (or at least of her childhood), hunger isn't enough to bring real cohesion between these bits and pieces of memories. I would have loved to hear more about how she dealt with some of the toughest times in her teenage years as well. So although it is wonderfully written (as always) the book lacked depth and substance.

This is now officially my favorite book from this author and I can say that considering the fact that I've read quite a few of her books (all that have been translated into romanian or english at least).She's fascinating and this is a subject that fascinated me for a very long time. In a word: hunger. What has the power to motivate us more than that? The reason we get up from bed each day can simply be resumed to that reason. Can you sleep on forever? No, hunger will wake you up eventually. We

I made the honest mistake of sharing my favorite Amélie book with my Mom, who then shared it with my Dad, who then shared it with my Grandfather and Grandmother.Which annoys me particularly because, when I finished The Character of the Rain I was all like "yay best book ever gon share with everyone I know and that's going to make the world a better place."But I didn't realize that to have my family commenting and talking and arguing about Nothomb would make me feel so severely violent against

This is one of my favourite books.

My second Nothomb, after having read one of her novels seven years ago in French class.And this was absolutely fantastic, what a great way of writing she has - there is not a boring page and it was wildly interesting to find out about her childhood/adolescence.If you have further suggestions re her oeuvre and what I ought to read next, please let me know.

Feverishly I read this in one sitting. Something about the unique prose made me persevere on in my quest with this. At first the prose alienated me and I wanted to put it down but as I got further in and I suppose more used to the voice of the narrator I didnt want to put this down. The subject matter is tackled in a different way to what youd suspect.
