«Estupor y temblores» is the autobiographical novel by Amélie Nothomb, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Amélie, a young Belgian woman, starts working at a large Japanese company in Tokyo. She soon discovers a rigid, hierarchical professional environment where her dual status as a Westerner and a woman puts her in the spotlight. Nothomb builds an ironic critique of cultural clash and workplace abuse through increasingly absurd and cruel situations.
It belongs to Anagrama's Panorama de narrativas collection (number 459) and was awarded the Grand Prix of the French Academy.
An ideal read for those interested in contemporary fiction with acerbic humour and reflections on the working world and cultural clash.
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.
