Buffalo is the twenty-fourth novel of Patrick Grainville, published in Éditions du Seuil on January 2, 2014.
History
Twenty-six years after publishing "L'Atelier du peintre" Buffalo became a new occasion for Patrick Grainville to find a central character of painting. In 1845 when George Catlin came to France to introduce his paintings and Indian objects to the king Louis Philippe I[1], he fascinated at the same time George Sand[2] and Charles Baudelaire who was excited with the symphony of the red and the green in his paintings[3].
