«Le Maître des paons» is the novel by Jean-Pierre Milovanoff, published by Julliard in 1997, in paperback (219 pages, in French).
The narrator recalls a painter he met in the south of France in the 1960s who painted only peacocks: he said their plumage offered more diversity than the bodies of young women. He carried that obsession to unprecedented perfection and, after his death, a place is prepared for him in museums; everyone calls him the Master of the Peacocks.
The novel won the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens in 1997. The cover bears the original subtitle «roman».
For readers of contemporary French fiction and for those who enjoy stories about artists and their obsession with creation.
Jean-Pierre Milovanoff is a French writer, laureate of several literary prizes
