Synopsis "Petronille (in Spanish)"

Disponer de un buen compañero de borrachera es un asunto muy serio. Aficionada al champán, Amélie Nothomb encuentra a la camarada ideal de manera imprevista en una librería donde ha sido invitada a firmar ejemplares de El sabotaje amoroso. Pétronille Fanto, un ser andrógino de veintidós años que parece que tenga quince, una especialista en Christopher Marlowe con aspecto de poligonera, se convertirá con el tiempo en una escritora prolífica y, quizás, en un álter ego maligno de la misma Nothomb. La amistad etílica entre la escritora consagrada y la novel se transforma en duelo dialéctico, diversión, compañía y contraste..., pero también en un riesgo. Novela de inspiración autobiográfica, Pétronille es una ficción delirante y tremendamente divertida en la que hallamos algunos de los temas predilectos de la escritora belga: el protagonismo del cuerpo, la reflexión sobre la creación literaria y la sátira sobre la maquinaria editorial que la acompaña... Amélie Nothomb sumerge al lector en el estado de ebriedad entre ascético y alucinatorio del alcohol consumido en ayunas gracias a una prosa de una cosecha excelente en la que abundan el humor negro, la ironía y la genialidad estilística que la caracterizan. Puro oro líquido.

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.
