Neige Sinno ねーじゅ・しんの Winner

The book traces the memory of sexual violence endured in childhood through a fragmentary narrative and literary reflection. It faces the facts of abuse directly while asking how silence is made and how far language can reach, resulting in a rigorous and exacting autobiographical work.

To speak becomes an act of resistance against silence itself.
