The young Amelie Nothomb, who speaks fluent Japanese - not bad anyway - arrives in a large multi-national Japanese. By rapidly proved its incompetence in all extra-menial jobs offered to him, after having committed "serious crime initiative" by distributing the mail and nothing is asked, she is assigned to cleaning toilets. When you know that this story is mostly autobiographical, one can only admire the courage of this small Belgian who admits to face the world she did Dame Pipi at the other end of the world! This book is the story of a hierarchical tumble, but also the history of a fascination. Indeed Amélie is under the spell of Fubuki Mori, supposedly benevolent colleague who does not hesitate to get off our heroine with management when it, drafting a report on the fat butter (!), Did finally notice her talents! In short, I, who had only a vague sympathy for the character, but that had never been attracted to his work, I must say that Amélie Nothomb blew me away! I found this book a whole bunch of things about Japan and the Japanese, I took great pleasure to follow the turpitude of heroin between the stupefying task and pathological anger of his superiors! I recommend!
