«Une forme de vie» is the autofiction novel by Amélie Nothomb, published by Albin Michel in paperback (180 pages, in French).
One day Amélie Nothomb receives an unexpected letter from an American soldier stationed in Iraq. To survive that absurd war, the man stuffs himself with junk food and flaunts his obesity as an act of rebellion; the writer replies by telling him about body art. From the exchange of letters is born a strange epistolary relationship about solitude, lack of communication and the search for meaning.
The novel was published on August 18, 2010; the cover bears the subtitle «roman».
