Amelie Nothomb's, " Tokyo Fiancee"

I am reading a delightful, darkly sardonic prose novel by Amelie Nothomb. Her twisty little books are brilliant and wash down fabulously with a slightly bitter raspberry tea and dark chocolate. Since I am only half done I am not going to comment just yet. Nothomb might be described as a Marguerite Duras turned stand up comic.
