"This article aims to establish a comparative analysis of two works by migrant authors, Bélgica (2011) by Chantal Maillard and Ni d’Ève ni d’Adam (2007) by Amélie Nothomb. Both authors reflect upon national identity through the return trip to their native countries. This reflection is directly linked to the complicated Belgian identity (referred to in the literature as a hybrid, mestizo or absent identity), since the former returns to Belgium from Spain, and the latter escapes from it to return to Japan. From the methodology of Comparative Literature we will study how both, Maillard in the self-essay and Nothomb in the autofictional novel, will attend to the very concept of writing and its questioning as an identity trait"
