Abstract
Amélie Nothomb is a phenomenon in contemporary literature, particularly in Frenchspeaking countries. She has gradually won over readers with her autobiographical narrative style, her romantic humor that reveals her inner self, and her wealth of cultural knowledge about where she lived before returning to Belgium at the age of seventeen. This study focuses on how Japanese corporate culture is depicted in "Fear and Trembling" by Amélie Nothomb, first published in 1999. As she witnessed the hierarchal systems, long-term commitment, and daily behaviors of her company's employees at the beginning of her professional career as an interpreter in a company in Tokyo after graduating from university in Belgium, Amélie Nothomb’s thoughts about Japan were greatly influenced.
