The Life of Hunger by Amelie Nothomb
In a wistful, funny, clever, and eccentric fictional memoir, Amelie Nothomb casts herself as hunger - in all its many guises. Recounting the formative journeys of her youth, from Tokyo to Peking to Paris to New York, The Life of Hunger is a brilliant and moving examination of the self.
