Amélie Nothomb has been publishing a book a year for over two decades now (while churning out considerably more -- most for the drawer: as she notes, her newest, Barbe bleue (see the Albin Michel publicity page, or get your copy at Amazon.fr) is her twenty-first published novel, but she has written seventy-five (!)).
With Barbe bleue just out in France, she's also getting considerable press attention again. Le Figaro have two pieces that include Q & As: Mohammed Aissaoui reports on Les vingt ans d'Amélie Nothomb while Valérie Lejeune reports on Amélie Nothomb : hygiène de l'écrivain. And over at L'Express Marianne Payot says: Régalons-nous du Nothomb nouveau.
(I'm behind on my Nothombs but hope to eventually get this one, and get to it too.)
