Synopsis "Hygiène de l'Assassin (in French)"

Prétextat Tach, prix Nobel de littérature, n'a plus que deux mois à vivre. Des journalistes du monde entier sollicitent des interviews de l'écrivain que sa misanthropie tient reclus depuis des années. Quatre seulement vont le rencontrer, dont il se jouera selon une dialectique où la mauvaise foi et la logique se télescopent. La cinquième lui tiendra tète, il se prendra au jeu.Si ce roman est presque entièrement dialogué, c'est qu'aucune forme ne s'apparente autant à la torture. Les échanges, de simples interviews, virent peu à peu à l'interrogatoire, à un duel sans merci où se dessine alors un homme différent, en proie aux secrets les plus sombres.Dans ce premier roman d'une extraordinaire intensité, Amélie Nothomb manie la cruauté, le cynisme et l'ambiguïté avec un talent accompli.

Amélie Nothomb (Kobe, Japan, 1967), born as Fabienne Claire Nothomb, is an acclaimed Belgian writer in the French language and a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium. Although she comes from a renowned Brussels family, she spent her childhood and youth in Asia, where her father, a diplomat, served in countries such as China and Japan. This multicultural experience has left a deep imprint on her work, characterized by her witty style, psychological sharpness, and her ability to explore universal themes with a touch of irony and black humor. She currently resides in Paris, from where she continues to establish herself as one of the most original voices in contemporary literature

Since her first novel in 1992 with Hygiene of the Assassin, Nothomb has published more than thirty novels, earning a prominent place in the international literary scene. Her work, translated into numerous languages, has been awarded prizes such as the Leteo Cultural Award (2006) and the Grand Prix Jean Giono (2008), accolades that highlight the quality and originality of her narrative. With agile prose and boundless imagination, Nothomb continues to captivate readers around the world.
