But it's happened to me with plenty of authors, especially when they write interminable series. Perhaps, in this case, even though it's not technically a long series, all the books are more or less autobiographical (please correct me if I'm wrong), so after a while it may grow uninteresting for some (unless she lives an adrenaline-inducing lifestyle)? It's just a hypothesis, of course.Alessa Ellefsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587451250007222192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366385969888572618.post-73018937980407923542014-10-09T19:51:24.353-07:002014-10-09T19:51:24.353-07:00Ms. Nothomb says that she "cannot stand not w...Ms. Nothomb says that she "cannot stand not writing". I also cannot stop writing book reviews, even though I have about 0.000001 of her writing talent. But I would like to point out that the more books she writes, the less interesting I find them. I think "Le Sabotage amoureux" is one of the best books I have read in my life. "Métaphysique des tubes", "Stupeur et tremblements", and "Hygiène de l'assassin" are good or great too (I read them all in English translation). But then I cannot finish any of the later books by her. Maybe there is such a thing as burnout? Saturation? Nothing more new to say?Lukasz Pruskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04057365964035909369noreply@blogger.com
