Article About Books Acide sulfurique

Amelie Nothomb is an author who is new to me, despite her prolific writing over the last 20 years. I understand now that I've finished it, that Sulphuric Acid was controversial when it was first released, with the author being asked to publicly explain herself. I find that hilarious, if for no other reason than what I got out of it could not have been more clear.This short novel is based around a new, hit television show called "Concentration," wherein one set of people is herded together and

This is quite a disturbing book. It reminded me of Blindness by Saramago, and likewise has left me with the feeling that I have been punched on the stomach. I read one previous book by Nothomb Fear and Trembling but it did not prepare me for Sulphuric Acid.In both books Nothomb makes an acute criticism of society, but while in Fear and Trembling an criticism of corporate organizations, the Japanese corporations more specifically she uses humour and satire, in Sulphuric Acid the theme does

To stand by while innocent people are murdered becomes easier if you feel part of a crowd. The anonymity of the voyeur, such as offered by the reality television shows of the first decade of this century, adds another layer of protection.From these two observations Amélie Nothomb constructs a short and simple dystopian novel. The Christ-figure of Pannonique is her vehicle to gradually build up dramatic tension and to pass her reflections on morality and responsibility.This book has drawn

I gobbled this up in one sitting which in hindsight probably wasn't the best approach but I just couldn't stop. Maybe that's another comment on our appetite for suffering? There was so much packed in here that it definitely deserves breaks for reflection and a reread.

She would be God in every respect. It was no longer a matter of creating the universe: too late, damage done. Basically, once creation was accomplished, what was the task of God? Probably that of a writer when his book is published: publicly to love his text, to receive compliments, jeers and indifference on its behalf. To confront certain readers who denounce the works shortcomings when, even if they are right, it would be impossible to change it. To love it to the bitter end. That love was the

My first 1 star book of the year. It's more 1.5 but I round down.Here's the thing, this has a really good synopsis. The world has gotten so bored of everything, that they start using the old Concentration camps in the same way they were used during the Holocaust, but it's broadcast on live television as a reality show. Anyone can be chosen, people are randomly arrested on the street, and you leave when you are dead. Guards are also randomly chosen off the street, and are paid.So, this had

Sulphuric Acid [2005/2007] ★★★★This book is by a Belgian author Amélie Nothomb, who was born in Japan, but now resides in Paris. Translated from the French by Shaun Whiteside, Sulphuric Acid is a short novella which quite shockingly and darkly satirises our obsession with TV, in particular with reality television, and our idolisation of celebrities. Probably taking some inspiration from Koushun Takamis Battle Royale (1999), Sulphuric Acid is a dystopia-set story in which millions of people tune
