Narration Concering Books Métaphysique des tubes
"Il existe des êtres qui ne subissent pas la loi de l'évolution. Ce sont les légumes cliniques", ou des tubes par où circule seule la nourriture. Ces tubes ne sont pas pour autant sans cervelle puisqu'il arrive que celle-ci, suite à un "accident fatal", se réveille soudain, et déclenche la vie. C'est exactement ce qu'a vécu la (très) jeune narratrice de Métaphysique des tubes durant les deux premières années de sa vie qui furent muettes, immobiles, végétatives, bref divines. Au sens propre, car ce singulier bébé n'ignore pas qu'il est Dieu lui-même, méditant sur ce monde qu'il hésite à rejoindre. Sous forme de monologues intérieurs, considérations philosophico-drolatiques, on déguste le récit de ces trois premières années d'une vie française au Japon, pays merveilleux où de la naissance à la maternelle, l'enfant est un dieu.Particularize Books Supposing Métaphysique des tubes

Really 2.5*: it's not a bad book, but I didn't really enjoy it (fortunately, it's very short). This describes Nothomb's life from her birth until her third birthday. The youngest child of a Belgian diplomat in Japan, she tells it with the Japanese assumption that children are gods until their third birthday: "at three... you see everything and understand nothing" because you don't remember the previous year (though she claims to). Unfortunately, I quickly found the gimmick of the omniscient andjust finished the French version so currently reading the English version before the rating till now it s quite better :-)this is the weirdest autobiography I ever read!! starting reading it in French with a tube a god and a vegetable what the hell !!! either am not understanding or this writer is hyper crazy couldn't tie anything together so I decided to finish the French version and read the English version coz I didnt want any idea or word to slip without looking deeply to it and she rocked
That's what I can call a talented writer !
Okosama, the lord child. As a child, the whole world revolves around you, that makes you god in your own eyes. The book is a narration of the authors first three years of life told by an adult and how she remembers those three years. The book focuses on self-awareness and development. I loved the references to words and language, the author seems to place weight on etymology through easily understandable, light and funny sentences. i liked the symbolism of the fish, and her feelings towards
This was my first book by Nothomb and I am so glad I finally read something by this author!In an attempt to read more translated fiction (it is women in translation month after all) I looked up some short translated reads. I've heard people talk about Nothomb a lot but I am usely scared to try out an author who has published this many books. If I enjoy their book, I have endless books to add to my already large wishlist of books. If I don't like their book, do I try out another? It only seems
This is a book about babyhood and childhood told as if an adult could interpret how a very small child actually thinks, but also giving the child the adult abilities of talking and reading. I loved the book, not least because it was suitably short, but it turns out that her one, not quite phobia, but absolute real dislike, is also mine, and for the same reason too. I intensely dislike koi, or carp, waiting to be fed with their mouths open and being able to see their disgusting rubbery lips and
In Japanese , the character used for Rain is the same as the character used for Amelie.Amelie is a Belgian who lived her toddler days in Kobe Japan when her diplomat parents were stationed there .This little novella encapsulates her memories from age Two to Three.What a load of crock ? would be the first response from anyone after reading that statement. But, let me tell you its a delightful read.It plays like a studio Ghibli movie , where you feel kinship with the animation. Amelie describes in
