Not that the literary beauty does not exist: only that it is an experience as incommunicable as the charms of Dulcinea to whom it is not sensitive to them. AN
Amélie Nothomb lived the experience of being god yet belong to a conventional Belgian family: an ancient tradition as Japan, all children under three years is potentially a god as only a being of unblemished innocence can lock itself same perfection and divinity. Based on the premise that every baby is a god, as well as biblical axioms, Amélie develops early autobiography, Metaphysics of the tubes (Anagram, 2001) as the daughter of Belgian consul in Japan and sister of two children not as perceptive as they, as Europeans, found the environment a little magic and a bit absurd. Perhaps being born in the midst of the diplomatic mission of his father in Kobe, Japan on August 13, 1967, Amélie did not share the vision of his family: it is assumed Japan, prefers to speak Japanese well before French, spruces kimonos and the very idea that one day must leave the home country and his beloved nanny, Nishio-san, the disturbance to the most extravagant weeping. Regardless of history, splendidly developed, the author focuses his ethical and aesthetic interest in the use of words, those first words that every child hears, which breaks off as exotic fruits and, in one way or another, come to collect the meaning intimate that accompanied all her life. Reaches such a degree hate the sound of the words "suffer", "clothing" and "wash", which breaks every time to mourn his evil brother of hums. "Death" is one of the most intriguing of the small Amélie and curiosity she will lead a series of experiences that must be capital in securing their future vocation literary: "Death, had discussed this issue in detail: the death was the roof. When you know better than the roof itself, it is called death (...) "Suffice it to this button Amélie prose to warn that Metaphysics of the tubes is much, much more than the charming story of a little girl Belgian Japanese believed to have a good nanny, of humble origin, and another bad, Kishi-san, belonging to the nobility Japan abolished by the Americans in 1945 and which despises whites. Amélie philosophy told from the particular version of a little girl that everyone has for autism during their first two years of life, of Hence the name you-tube and the paternal grandmother who rescues of ostracism with a wafer of white chocolate that first awakens curiosity and pleasure of hunger later: "The advantage of the circumstances pleasure to name your instrument: the I called, and I still have a name. " Amélie lives obsessed with the story of Jesus. He has heard from Nishio-san that she is God and therefore does not hesitate to compare with that, as he is about to drown in the sea and horrified warns that none of vacationers are willing to save beach because it would amount to convert a slave to his rescuer. At the end is providentially rescued by her mother, but associates the experience with Jesus Christ on the cross languishing in view of the morbid expectation: "Surely the people of the country had crucified the same principles as the Japanese: save the life of an amount to make it a slave because of an exaggerated gratitude. It was better to let him die that deprive him of his liberty. "
Winner of the Grand Prix of the Academie Francaise in Metaphysics of the tubes, Amélie Nothomb speak Japanese insists despite being one of the most successful writers in French. Belgium, he said, it is much more alien and exotic as Japan, China, India, Laos and Vietnam, countries where he spent his childhood and adolescence: "Certainly that's the reason I started writing there. Not understanding something is a great ferment for writing. "Until his resounding success as a writer-readers Internet was appointed the writer under forty world's most popular in 2000 - worked as an interpreter in Tokyo, delirious office experience that inspired the novel stupor and tremors, but now lives in Brussels. His novels are characterized by seemingly innocent and slyly instead be perverse. His motto seems to be, as would Textor Texel, character of his novel published in 2003, Beauty of the enemy, "To me, what I like in life are now authorized. As the victims have no right to defend themselves, are even more fun. "In Antichrista (Anagram, 2005) leads to the extreme. Just as in Metaphysics recovered with admirable clarity the voice of a young girl, Blanche Antichrista is narrated by a girl who embodies the fears, insecurities and complexes of the average teenager (in his next novel, biography of hunger, compared the process of growing up with the transformation of Gregor Samsa Kakfa) and that in their desperate search for love and acceptance to host ends his worst nightmare at home: another girl named Christa, the incarnation of evil. But ... What is the worst nightmare of most children?: another child, perhaps a new brother, he stole his parents, his room, his bed, his life. Christa seems destined to be the best friend of the lonely and timid Blanche, who, like nearly all his fellow longs to be taken into account by the most popular girl in school, that is, Christa, a brash young German, a remarkable Beauty, number one philosophy class (although he has never been seen reading Nietzsche ... or any other), to emphasize the irresistible fascination of his personality, said to come from a "disadvantaged backgrounds." Blanche, that all he has going for it, in connection with Christa, is a well built home and a separate room, offers the breakaway share their world with it. And Christa will soon remove the nail and gradually take over the life of Blanche. The only thing that gets snatch-and this is where we discover that Blanche so underrated by itself, has a sweeping intelligence-is herself. "If they had real eyes landed on me, would have been an atomic pile, a bow stretched to the maximum, requiring only an arrow or a target, and loudly proclaiming their desire to receive both treasures." Blanche
angusta differs from Jerome, star of the ingenious Cosmetics the enemy in time to discover that no one but herself, can be your worst enemy: "The enemy is one who, from the inside, destroying what it's worth," warns angusta Textel Textor, the crazed be that addressed in a crowded airport where he has been stranded for confession murderer and rapist of his wife. Again, Antichrista, Amélie resorts to biblical parables and his heroine equated with Jesus Christ when confronted in a duel of wits (something carried in Cosmetics delirious extremes, it would be a splendid theatrical dialogue) with the evil angel. Revenge of the good girl, Amélie Nothomb seems to tell us with their big round eyes eternal child while sipping a white chocolate bar, can shake the universe.
In Biography of hunger (Anagram, 2006), Amélie reveals her experience with anorexia, but before reaching it made an apology for the gluttony that suddenly confront with the famines that includes China and India and some not so outside but you will find out what's worth is to pretend that there is hunger. The mixture of these experiences with her desire for beauty (not only possess beauty but to absorb it through the eyes to fill and digest it as enjoyable as a chocolate bar, which is the experience that through the contemplation of a Inge name nanny, who makes everybody to turn their way through the crowded streets of New York and teaches him the meaning of another word terrible, "no") will trigger a process that will lead to anorexia thirty-two kilos despite a meter seventy tall. Best of all this is that while Amélie chronicles the shenanigans of which it uses to deflect attention from their parents, and weighed with a few metal bars under the sweater to increase its weight, points out the ridiculous side, but also the beautiful side , who was in his case, this condition: "The brain is essentially composed of fat. The noblest thoughts are born in fat. To avoid losing his head, returned to translated, with fever, the Iliad and the Odyssey. A Homer owe the few neurons I have left. "(P. 186). Whenever overcome anorexia, Amélie still see this experience as far as a challenge, as an issue, not a disease. Nothing in the tone of his narrative, even when he describes how he was about to be raped on the beach for a few young Indians to twelve years, notable is anything but a deep, happy and intelligent sense of humor, comparable only with the a refined adult child. I've always said Amélie Nothomb is an enhanced version of Marguerite Duras, who despite his enormous genius was never able to laugh at their own tragedies.
NOTE: All Amélie Nothomb's novels have been translated into English and published by Sergi Pamies in Anagram, except for the first murderer's Health, published in Circe.
