240pages. in8. broché jaquette. L'auteur de "Stupeur et tremblements" (Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française 1999) et de "Métaphysique des tubes" fait revivre ses souvenirs de petite enfance au Japon mais aussi à Pékin, à New York, au Bangladesh et autres lieux où l'a conduite la carrière d'un père diplomate. Au c?ur du kaléidoscope: sa faim. Le mystère de la faim, la faim goinfre, joyeuse ou tragique et angoissante,quête perpétuelle d'un accomplissement inaccessible, qui explique autant l'histoire des peuples que celle des individus. Les figures du père, d'une nourrice japonaise, d'une s?ur tendrement aimée se dessinent aussi dans ce récit pudique et sincère, maniant l'humour noir et la provocation.
