Representaion Supposing Books Antichrista
When lonely sixteen-year-old university student Blanche meets the dazzling Christa, she is swept off her feet. Christa, who talks freely of her impoverished background in the Eastern Belgian town of Malmedy, claims to work in a bar with her boyfriend, a David Bowie lookalike called Detlev.When Blanche's mother, who finds her own daughter rather colourless, bookish and dull, is also dazzled by Christa though, she soon invites her to stay at the family house. Suddenly Christa can do no wrong and, as Blanche's parents scour their address books for long-lost friends to invite to dinner to meet the newcomer, their friendship sours and Blanche's already negligible self-confidence goes into a steep decline.
With all the characteristics of Amélie Nothomb's unique fictional landscapes, Antichrista is a funny, dark and revealing journey through female friendship and rivalry.

I cant tell how but I really adore the writing of Nothomb. How she brings a story in your life without using xxx sides. She gets you in like 140 sides. And she brings it to a whole other level. When I should say something about this story, then how I hate the character of Christa since she came in Blanches life, the two protagonists of this story. How she intervened the good core of Blanche, got into her life and house and even manipulated Blanches parents. It made me so mad 😠.And this all withbook 5
enthrallingly outrageous!
It seems good at the beggining but the story does not end as I expected. It is a really weak book.
I lowered my rating from 3 to 2 stars which might seem like a minor change to you but it's a pretty significant one for me. That's where I draw the line between a book that was just average overall but which I would still recommend, and a book that's just subpar all around (and could stay unread for all I care). Upon reflecting on this read, I have to admit that Nothomb's overarching message just left a bitter taste in my mouth; I honestly don't need more authors pushing the messages of
At the age of six, getting undressed is nothing. By the age of twenty-six, getting undressed is already an old habit. At the age of sixteen, getting undressed is an act of deranged violence. This is the third novel Ive read by Amelie Nothomb, and while it isnt quite as amazing as The Character of Rain or Fear and Trembling, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I picked it up from the library earlier today and finished it in one sitting, as its quite short and I cant help but devour Nothombs words like they
