'Ingenious . . . With great delicacy, Nothomb updates the age-old
divide between East and West in this delectable little book.' O,
The Oprah Magazine Amelie, a well-intentioned and eager young
westerner, goes to Japan to spend a year working at the Yumimoto
Corporation. Returning to the land where she was born is the
fulfilment of a dream for Amelie, but once there her working life
quickly becomes a comic nightmare of terror and self-abasement.
Disturbing, hilarious and totally convincing, Fear and Trembling
displays an elegant and shrewd understanding of the intricate ways
in which Japanese relationships are made and spoiled. 'A
vituperatively funny attack on an alien culture.' Daily Telegraph
'Nothomb is the latest enfant terrible of French letters - she has
an acidic yet passionately romantic view of human nature.' Elle 'A
scathingly funny novella.' Newsday
