Well, I don't know how things are nowadays, but I can tell you that I don't want to be a female employee in the business world of Japan circa 1991! I'm sure things haven't changed much, but I hope things are more progressive for women. I'll just remain a tourist, thank-you.

j'aime trop les livres d'Amélie Nothomb parce-que quand on les finit on a l'impression de sortir d'un rêve chelou mais plutôt fun

Entre la haine et l’amour, la fascination que l’auteure possède pour la culture Japonaise donne une dissonance cognitive à chaque phrase dans Stupeur et Tremblements. Je ne sais pas le mot Français pour « unputdownable », mais ce roman est vraiment captivant - si Joseph K et Bridget Jones avaient une bébé, elle s’appellerait Amélie Nothomb.

Amélie Nothomb is amazing as usual, and this time her theme is somehow lighter than those I was used to.
