For his first novel, Daniel Schick imagines an encounter around art and Picasso, between a bohemian scholar of art, tired by life, and a young man who left Mali and his condition as a poor breeder.

Two wanderings around two solitudes.

We first know

as a man of television and radio.

He also made his voice heard and took RFI listeners on a journey.

He is therefore a man of the media, but also a smuggler of art and culture, a writer.

This is his fourth book - but he comes today as a first-time novelist.

In this first novel, we recognize some of his passions: painting and sculpture, and museums, which play a major role in this story of an unlikely encounter between two men whom nothing predestined to become friends, and who will yet find themselves, thanks to the force of art.

"Le grand baobab bleu", Daniel Schick's first novel was published by Albin Michel.
