According to ancient Japanese protocol, foreigners deigning to approach the emperor did so only with fear and trembling. Terror and self-abasement conveyed respect. Amelie, our well-intentioned and eager young Western heroine, goes to Japan to spend a year working at the Yumimoto Corporation. Returning to the land where she was born is the fulfillment of a dream for Amelie; working there turns into comic nightmare. Alternately disturbing and hilarious, unbelievable and shatteringly convincing, "Fear and Trembling" will keep readers clutching tight to the pages of this taut little novel, caught up in the throes of fear, trembling, and, ultimately, delight.

精緻地引人發笑地作批判的無聊文學。
評分誇張但寫實
評分3.5/5 It is absolutely delightful to reencounter these characters. Nothomb's autobiographical character, although clearly on a spectrum, casually recounts her tragicomic existence in this corporal micro-universe, which itself serves as a meditation on the philosophy of work, culture and human relationships not devoid of heartwarming hilarity.
