"Psychopomp" is an emotional authorial confession. The title derives from the nickname of the ancient Greek god Hermes and means "Guide of Souls." The story explores childhood and adolescence, the sexual abuse she experienced at age 12 in Bangladesh, the subsequent anorexia, the paradoxical twists of fate, the secrets of her craft, her unusual writing credo, and the art of communicating with the dead, a mastery that Amélie Nothomb, who is not at all inclined toward mysticism, managed to master.

"The Impossible Return" is a lyrical and deeply personal novel about her love for Japan and her journey there thirty years after her attempt to settle there permanently, as described in her acclaimed books "Fear and Trembling" and "Tokyo Bride." A reunion with familiar streets and ancient Japanese monuments is accompanied by moving memories, nostalgia, and Nothomb's signature humor.
