Le Nouvelliste: What does it mean for you to participate in Livres en folie for the first time as a novelist?

I feel enthusiastic about participating in Livres en folie this year for the first time as a novelist. In previous editions, I was always the young reader eager for new literary encounters, wandering through the aisles of this great cultural event, delighted to meet my favorite writers and to get a few words and an autograph from them, hoping to one day stand alongside them. That day has come, and I already experience it as a deeply emotional and gratifying moment. It represents not only a recognition of my work but also an opportunity to share a part of myself with the public.
