Publisher's Synopsis
Pipe Metaphysics tells the story of the first three years of life of a being obsessed with water that, dissatisfied with its environment, adopts the inert form of a pipe as its existential condition. With the cruelty, realism and peculiar humour which we are used to, Amlie Nothomb recalls, through a story that combines philosophy and plumbing, episodes of her Japanese infancy that took place in Osaka.
