I remove the following paragraph until sources are given:
According to the dust jacket of a 1993 edition of Loving Sabotage, Nothomb, at one point, also held the world record for the fastest descent from Mt. Fuji.

why is the book mercure not included in her literary works\?"
I remove the entry for the last book "Brillante como una cacerola" because it's only the translation for "Brillant comme une casserole" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.234.136.38 ( talk) 07:47, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
I have a feeling some of her works are not listed in this bibliography...? I don't know exactly which ones but 'Plectrude' for example is not listed. If anyone could look into this? 81.245.85.195 ( talk) 04:43, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Dear Carolus,
In these two diffs: [1] [2], you're stating that Amélie Nothomb is a niece of a member of the House of Trazegnies.
This is untrue.
Check this discussion thread for the listing of all her uncles and aunts :
[3]
As you can see she is a not the niece of Jean de Trazegnies d'Ittre, she's "just" the wife’s great-niece of Jean de Trazegnies d'Ittre.
As a result I don't see the point of mentioning this information in this article. It's not relevant. Indeed, if you're willing to mention all the links Amélie has with the Belgian nobility, then this page will seriously increase unnecessarily.
I would only focus on what's relevant for Amélie as a writer.

Nothomb's birthday seems to be a matter of contention. A google search has come up with claims for both '66 in Etterbeek and '67 in Kobe. A mentioned source for both dates is Bulletin de l’association de la noblesse du royaume de Belgique, publication trimestrielle, nr 87. I do not have access to this source, but it might clear up the confusion once and for all, if someone knows where to find a print of this bulletin. MrEvers ( talk) 15:03, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
There is
published research that states she was born in Etterbeek in 1966 and that her birth in Kobe a year later is most likely her own fabrication. The French wiki version of this article gives Etterbeek 1966 and cites the Belgian nobility source above (which I also can't access), while noting that some biographical profiles claim otherwise.
