Joseph Incardona is the winner of the 92nd Prix des Deux Magots, for his novel "Le monde est fatigué" (Finitude).

Regarding the book: "There is so much noise when what is needed is silence, to channel emotion, to place a cool compress on the madness of the world."
Eve is a professional mermaid who swims in the world's largest aquariums. But no one imagines the broken, shattered woman hidden behind her silicone tail. Someone has hurt her, hurt her so deeply, and one day the reckoning will have to be faced. In the meantime, from Geneva to Tokyo, from Brisbane to Dubai, she crisscrosses the globe, a glamorous and artificial icon of a world weary of excessive desire. Through a singular destiny, Joseph Incardona revisits the myth of the mermaid and shows us a humanity on the verge of losing its soul.
