«Hygiène de l'assassin» is the novel by Amélie Nothomb, published by French & European Pubns in paperback (221 pages, in French).
The writer Prétextat Tach, misanthrope, obese and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, has cancer and only two months to live. Four journalists manage to interview him; a fifth confronts him and the verbal duel erupts. The work, almost entirely in dialogue, turns into an interrogation that reveals the character's dark sides.
Amélie Nothomb's first novel, originally published in 1992, won the Alain-Fournier and René Fallet prizes in 1993.
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.
