De l’auto-fiction à son meilleur. À travers les 43 nouvelles de ce recueil, on assiste à des quotidiens difficiles, mais présentés avec tellement de style et de beauté que ça dérange et émerveille en même temps. Le brusque et le doux se côtoient, et finalement on se laisse emporter vraiment facilement par chacune des scènes. Pour vrai, du grand art.
