«Biographie de la faim» is the novel by Amélie Nothomb, published by Albin Michel in paperback (252 pages, in French).
Starting from the idea that hunger defines her, Nothomb reviews her childhood as a diplomat's daughter in Japan, New York, Bangladesh, Burma and Laos and her early voracity for water, alcohol, love, reading and beauty. That hunger, physical and existential, connects with the loss of childhood and with writing as a response.
The work originally appeared in 2004 and continues the author's autobiographical account begun in Stupeurs et tremblements and Métaphysique des tubes.
For readers of Amélie Nothomb and contemporary French fiction interested in an autobiographical look at desire and creation.
Baroness Fabienne Claire Nothomb, better known by her pen name Amélie Nothomb, is a Belgian Francophone novelist. Part of her childhood was spent in Asia.
