I discovered Amélie Nothomb through this little novel. I quickly read and he quickly runs anyway, since it is essentially an epistolary novel. I imagined this author as inaccessible to ordinary readers, like me, or I discover someone who speaks to me, and I like that the book keeps me going. I would read thus "the metaphysics of tubes" and other securities convoluted from the moment I know I manage to understand them.
When this book one, I found it full of interest, it arouses curiosity, I found very pertinent reflections on the meaning of the writing. Finally I enjoyed.
