In 'Pipe Metaphysics', Amélie Nothomb immerses us in the first three years of life of a peculiar being, obsessed with water and dissatisfied with the world around him. In an act of existential rebellion, this character adopts the inert form of a tube. With her characteristic humor and realism, Nothomb recalls her Japanese childhood in Osaka, combining philosophy and everyday elements. The novel presents a gifted baby who proclaims himself God and finds the meaning of life in a chocolate bar, as well as death in a pond full of carp. This autobiographical work, similar to 'Fear and Trembling', dazzles with an original plot and an impactful humor.
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.
