lo amerai Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. This is a gem of a little book, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading! It is a novel, based on the true experiences of the author, Amelie Nothomb. She is a Westerner who goes to work for a Japanese company. Even though she knows Japanese customs inside and out, she finds herself continually making cultural blunders, and gaining the hatred of her superiors despite her efforts to reverse their opinion of her. Despite the lack of reciprocal feelings, Amelie is fascinated and deeply loyal to her direct supervisor, the beautiful and confident Fubuki Mori. This book is easy to read, but has a sort of simplistic beauty to it that leaves it without need for fancy wording or flowery prose. Nothomb is a brilliant writer, and she peppers her story with dashes of culture, insight, clever wording, and strong characters. I loved the sense of Japanese culture, so deeply ingrained in its people, that this book showed a glimpse of. I will remember this book for a long while, and I am looking forward to reading more by Amelie-San. Perhaps not a masterpiece, but a very funny and engaging little novel that perhaps tells us as much about office politics in a large organisation as it does about Japanese society. The key to the way the story works is the inevitability of each step in Amélie's absurd progression given the relations and status of everyone in the hierarchy around her. Management courses would certainly be more interesting if they gave you this sort of thing to read. vertaling: met angst en beven clash of cultures, east v west - symbolized in the relationship between the narrator and her nemesis, Fubuki.

Samenv.: Autobiografische roman over het jaar dat zij bij een Japanse multinational werkte. Winnaar Grand Prix du Roman 1999.
Samenv.: Een Belgische vrouw werkt in 1990 voor een jaar in een Japans bedrijf in Tokio en wordt daar keer op keer vernederd door haar superieuren. Diverse biografische gegevens van de hoofdpersoon komen overeen met die van de Belgische schrijfster (1967), zoals een verwijzing naar haar debuutroman uit 1992, 'Hygiène van de moordenaar'. Japans-Westerse cultuurverschillen, met name op het gebied van de arbeidsverhoudingen, worden niet al te diepgaand en met enige humor beschreven. Het beeld van de Japanner blijft wel wat steken in cliché's. Ook gaat het verhaal lang door op hetzelfde gegeven en met dezelfde niet al te sterke humor. Deze roman werd in 1999 tegelijk met 'Anielka' van François Taillandier bekroond met de Prix de l'Académie française en is in Frankrijk een bestseller met 400.000 verkochte exemplaren.
