Corrado Tumiati
Winner
A memoir-like work shaped by Corrado Tumiati's experience as a psychiatrist, quietly portraying the world of an asylum and the people within it. The boundary between reason and madness begins to shift, and observation turns into literature.
A quiet prose style gathers up the voices that spill beyond reason.
