The Book "Decoration of the Enemy" by Amelie Notombe

Conversations with strangers usually end badly, especially in the novels of Amelie Nothomb. Angust is bored at the airport, waiting for a delayed flight. As if that weren't enough, he has to endure the boring chatter of a Dutchman with the strange name of Textor Texel. How do you make a talkative person shut up? By talking, of course. And Angust falls into this trap. He becomes Texel's plaything, the original culprit, the perfect victim. And so Angust goes through all the contents of hell.
