QWhat can literature do? What is writing? A novelist? These questions live The Voice of the Willowsthe novel by Nathalie Skworonek, winner of the Rossel Prize for readers of “Soir”, in which the Belgian novelist recreates the writing workshops that she led in a psychiatric environment, at Saules in Brussels, for five years. Often named in the last four of the prize, Nathalie Skworonek had never been awarded a Rossel prize. “It makes me very happy, more than I imagined at first. For two reasons: because the selection is made by writers that I have read and known for a long time and because this prize comes from the readers and because I myself am a reader before being a writer. Reading is what made me, what created my relationship with the world. This little help from those who read The Voice of the Willows means a lot to me,” she rejoices.
