«Métaphysique des tubes» is the autobiographical novel by Amélie Nothomb, published by Hachette in paperback (156 pages, in French).
The author recreates her first three years of life in Japan, where her father was ambassador, and builds an ironic account of a girl her parents call «la Planta» and who conceives of herself as a tube. With humor and lucidity, the narrative explores the formation of identity, the strangeness of childhood and life in a new culture.
Originally published in 2000, it received the San Clemente Prize in 2003. This edition belongs to the Le Livre de Poche collection.
Suitable for students of French who want a short read and for those who enjoy the ironic and autobiographical narrative of Amélie Nothomb.
