The prize will be presented to Jean SICCARDI at the inauguration of the 23rd Nice Book Festival, which will be held under the presidency of รric-Emmanuel SCHMITT.
on June 1st.
A man from the southern mountains, author of around sixty works in various genres (youth, theater, literature, etc.), he initiated the development of writing workshops in disadvantaged areas in 1972.
Jean Siccardi excels in evoking his country contrary to some common stereotypes: far from idleness and the dolce vita, a land of rigor and passion.
