Summary/Abstract: Fall of 2019, a book ranked first in book sales for weeks. The book, whose title did not promise anything exceptional, was Soif (Ed. Albin Michel) (Sete), unarticulated, and the author Amelie Nothomb, prose writer translated into dozens of foreign languages, in hundreds of thousands of copies. After bearing it in her mind for fifty years, Amelie Nothomb manages to write the book of her life “all at once” in 2018. She does so with what she remembers from the evangelical readings and Catholic catechism, but mostly with a prodigious interpretive imagination. In the gospels she finds many things that “don’t hold water” and which she sanctions drastically. The author builds her own thinking system where Christ is idealized as a divine-human being.
