Amlie Nothomb, born Fabienne Claire Nothomb, was born in Etterbeek, Belgium on 9 July 1966,
to Belgian diplomats. Although Nothomb claims to have been born in Japan, she actually began
living in Japan at the age of two until she was five years old. Subsequently, she lived in China,
New York, Bangladesh, Burma, the United Kingdom (Coventry) and Laos.
She is from a distinguished Belgian political family; she is notably the grand-niece of Charles-
Ferdinand Nothomb, a Belgian foreign minister (1980-1981). Her first novel, , was published in
1992. Since then, she has published approximately one novel per year with a.o. (1995), (1999)
and (2000).
She has been awarded numerous prizes, including the 1999 Grand Prix du roman de l'Acadmie
franaise; the Prix Ren-Fallet; and twice the Prix Alain-Fournier.
While in Japan, she attended a local school and learned Japanese. When she was five the family
moved to China. "Quitter le Japon fut pour moi un arrachement" ("Leaving Japan was a wrenching
separation for me") she writes in Fear and Trembling. Nothomb moved often, and did not live in
Europe until she was 17, when she moved to Brussels. There, she reportedly felt as much a
stranger as everywhere else. She studied philology at the Universit Libre de Bruxelles. After
some family tensions, she returned to Japan to work in a big Japanese company in Tokyo. Her
experience of this time is told in Fear and Trembling. She has written a romanticized biography ()
for the French female singer RoBERT in 2002 and during the period 2000-2002 she wrote the
lyrics for nine tracks of the same artist. Many ideas inserted in her books come from the
conversations she had with an Italian man, from late eighties and during the nineties. She used
the French Minitel, while he used the Italian Videotel system, connected with the French one. They
never met personally.
