Sulphuric Acid tells the story of a reality TV death camp, which has become the nation's obsession - an amoral spectacle played out through the media. It is a blackly funny and shocking satire on the modern predilection for reality television and celebrity, in which the audience at home develops a taste for blood.
Belgian by nationality, Amélie Nothomb was born in Kobe, Japan, and currently lives in Paris. Described in the New York Times as 'slyly outrageous' and by the Financial Times as 'a charming little monster' she is the bestselling author of fifteen novels, translated into thirty languages. Her UK debut, The Book of Proper Names, was published to considerable acclaim in 2004.
