Praise for The Character of Rain
“Nothomb potently distills from the state of infancy the intensity of beginnings, the precariousness, the trailed clouds of glory...that grow indistinct as childhood approaches.”--Richard Eder, The New York Times
“Witty and original. Perhaps the best yet from one of Europe’s finest young writers.”--Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Fear and Trembling
“Elegantly written, Nothomb demonstrates a shrewd understanding of the intricate ways Japanese relationships are made and spoiled.”--The New York Times Book Review
“Nothomb updates the age-old divide between East and West in this delectable little book.”--O Magazine
“Amélie Nothomb adds humor, the ingredient most often missing in other writers from France of her generation, the ingredient most difficult to translate.--The Los Angeles Times
