« Vint le moment où la souffrance des autres ne leur suffit plus : il leur en fallut le spectacle. »

Concentration : la dernière-née des émissions télévisées. On enlève des gens, on recrute des kapos, on filme… Tout de suite, le plus haut score de téléspectateurs, l’audimat absolu qui se nourrit autant de la cruauté filmée que de l’horreur dénoncée.
Etudiante à la beauté stupéfiante, Pannonique est devenue CKZ 114 dans le camp de concentration télévisé. Le premier sévice étant la perte de son nom, partant de son identité.

Quand les organisateurs du jeu, pour stimuler encore l’audience, décident de faire voter le public pour désigner les prisonniers à abattre, un tollé médiatique s’élève mais personne ne s’abstient de voter et Pannonique joue sa vie…

Comment On Regarding Books Acide sulfurique

Any human being who experiences a lasting or a passing hell can, in order to confront it, resort to the most gratifying mental technique in existence: he can tell himself a story. The exploited worker invents himself as a prisoner-of-war, the prisoner-of-war imagines himself a Grail hunter, and so on. Every form of wretchedness has its own emblem and its own heroism. The poor wretch who can inflate his chest with a breath of greatness holds his head up high and ceases to complain.



This book was the dystopia I needed. So wicked. So messed up. It's Nothomb's first book that I truly love, it was simple in the writing style but so damn effective. I want to forget it to re-read it immediately.

A good surprise! There were some subjects in it I really liked but still I had some issues with it.

The Christ-figure of Pannonique is her vehicle to gradually build up dramatic tension and to pass her reflections on morality and responsibility.This book has drawn

[There was a review here. It's gone now.]

I had meant while I was recently in France to pick up a title or two by Amélie Nothomb about whom I've read quite a bit, but I didn't really have time to roam the bookstores on this last visit. So, since I was entitled (!!) to choose a book for the South Berwick Public Library to add to its collection because I completed the adult reading challenge this summer, I picked Sulphuric Acid by A.N. Here is another time I wish I could choose 9/10 stars instead of 4/5, as that would feel closer to an
