«Biographie de la faim» is the autobiographical account by Amélie Nothomb, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (192 pages, in French).
Recalling her childhood with a diplomat father in Japan, Beijing, New York or Bangladesh, she reconstructs her early years around a constant: hunger. The narrative explores that insatiable quest, sometimes joyful and other times anguishing, and the family figures around her, with black humor and provocation.

For readers of contemporary French literature, students of French and followers of the author.
