Dans ce recueil qui fleure bon le Sud-Ouest, Frédéric Villar compose trois petites variations autour de la mort.
La mort: celle qui frappe pendant que se déroule une corrida à 100 pas et cinquante années de là ; celle que l'on attend, interminablement, le cœur battant; celle enfin, aussi absurde que cruelle, qui nous sidère.

Les réparties cinglantes, drles, percutantes, mais par-dessus tout un gazon impeccable !
