Welcome to Litsy!

Amelie Nothomb is a phenomenon! She's curd, ruthless and honest to the core. Her books are all more less biographical, but I always wonder to what intent. She triggers and she enjoys it. So she's no author for thin-skinned people. In this book she portrays the world at war. Children at war. And a toxic relationship. Nothomb puts her finger into world politics, but the actors are children.

These are only signed books. Two of my favourite writers. One I waited in line for an hour, Alexandre Jardin and was tongue tied when he was, well, himself, and kept asking you are sure you only want this simple autograph, I can write more. I had no words. Amélie Nothomb, I met in private, she wasn't signing but a bookseller's friend introduced us. #readjanuary #signed
