Despite some rave reviews that show a lack of renewal and complacency in ease, I found instead the whimsical Belgian author in great shape. Like the good old days of "Hygiene of the Assassin" or "Mercury", I found a camera with lots of dialog caustics, by a distributed flawless, with great intelligence and great learning tinted . With, of course, touch of madness which Amélie Nothomb has continued to build his work.
