“In Soigner, écrire, Ouanessa Younsi successfully blends psychiatry and literature in an enlightening dialogue on the human condition. Her great maturity is revealed and manifested through her awareness of our finiteness. This work of non-fiction focusses on the unconditional acceptance of others—with their suffering and their struggles. The committee underscores the powerful writing, which rallies raw emotion, the private world and social spheres under the same banner.”
