Prétextat Tach, prix Nobel de littérature, n'a plus que deux mois à vivre. Des journalistes du monde entier sollicitent des interviews de l'écrivain que sa misanthropie tient reclus depuis des années. Quatre seulement vont le rencontrer, dont il se jouera selon une dialectique où la mauvaise foi et la logique se télescopent. La cinquième lui tiendra tête, il se prendra au jeu. Si ce roman est presque entièrement dialogué, c'est qu'aucune forme ne s'apparente autant à la torture. Les échanges, de simples interviews, virent peu à peu à l'interrogatoire, à un duel sans merci où se dessine alors un homme différent, en proie aux secrets les plus sombres. Dans ce premier roman d'une extraordinaire intensité, Amélie Nothomb manie la cruauté, le cynisme et l'ambiguïté avec un talent accompli.

Issue d'une illustre famille bruxelloise, Amélie Nothomb est la fille d'un ambassadeur belge. Née au Japon, elle reste profondément marquée par la culture nippone. En 1992, son roman Hygiène de l'assassin est accueilli avec un énorme succès. Frustrée de ne pas être restée au Japon, elle y retourne et retranscrit cette expérience plus que déroutante dans Stupeur et tremblements, couronné Grand Prix de l'Académie française en 1999. Il est adapté au cinéma en 2003, comme son premier succès, Hygiène de l'assassin. Depuis, elle publie à peu près un roman par an, se définissant elle-même comme une "graphomane malade de l'écriture".
