“Readers read Marc Villard and laugh…at the story, the style, man, society, the minutiae of daily life which unite us all, and those little pinpricks that wound our oversized egos.”
L’eveil de la Haute Loire, 13th April 2001.

“Marc Villard, the author of fiery noir novels, manipulates self-mockery with wicked pleasure. An expert in autofiction, a master of the short story, he is not a hero. Just an ordinary guy. Or almost: his small talk and big worries are nothing but stylistic bravura.”
Télérama, 21th March 2001.

“Really funny.”
Le Figaro Littéraire, 19th April 2001.

“Exciting and hilarious”
La Dépêche du Midi, 19th August 2001.

“It is a pleasure to share in his joys and difficulties. He plainly loves life.”
La Croix, 14th June 2001.
