Dive into the peculiar childhood of Amélie Nothomb with 'Metafísica de los tubos'. This autobiographical novel narrates the first three years of the author's life in Japan, where, as a gifted baby, she experiences the world in a unique way. Obsessed with water and adopting an inert tube shape as an existential condition, young Amélie proclaims herself God and refuses to manifest her emotions until she discovers the meaning of life in a chocolate bar and death in a pond. With her characteristic humor and cruelty, Nothomb combines philosophy and plumbing to create an original and dazzling plot.
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.
