Abstract

Belgian writer Nicole Malinconi gives a voice to those who have none. For a year and a half, she meets Michelle Martin – at the latter’s request –, incarcerated in the Namur prison for complicity in the murders of the infamous Marc Dutroux. A book – which does not please the recluse – will be published following the interviews. In it, we examine the minimalist aspects: the reduction of time, space, and the person during the meetings, as well as the concision of the word produced, centred on a single question: “How can an ordinary person come to this?”.
