THE IGNORANT

But these two are full of goodwill and curiosity. Why do people choose to devote their lives to writing and drawing books, or to producing wine? How and for whom do they do it? For over a year, to answer these questions, Étienne went to work in Richard's vineyards and cellar, and Richard, in return, immersed himself in the world of comic books. They opened many bottles and read quite a few books. They travelled around, meeting authors and winemakers passionate about their craft. Étienne Davodeau bets that there are as many ways to make a book as there are to produce wine. He observes that both have this necessary and valuable power to bring human beings closer together. Les Ignorants offers the joyful account of this cross-initiation.
