"Metaphysics of tubes" is a manifesto of expertise Amélie Nothomb. Between autobiography and reflection on the human condition; between dream and reality; this all fully turned book on the interiority of the author of both children and adults, also reveals an ingenious writing, clear, funny, caustic, touching without falling into pathos: a success! The reader is immersed in his world, in his emotions, and his paintings of the homeland; kind of lost paradise. The work is incredibly rich; the two parts of the book (the first is written as a fiction / and the other in a more autobiographical form with the use of the first person) should be read in the mirror one another. Rewriting the Bible, parody of creation etc ... humor is the rendezvous and inventiveness. The author also book and that meeting her child is so surprising than essential; discovers there is a character already "hardened" and an unusual individuality (including a fascination with death from infancy) Amélie Nothomb plays with his story, and plays with us, to our delight
