Comment raconter l'amour aujourd'hui ? On pourrait décrire un mariage de conte de fées, parler de cette actrice de cinéma dont le mari producteur exploite la beauté. Ou dépeindre un émoi naissant. Mais il faudrait aussi ouvrir les portes closes des appartements bourgeois, et dévoiler la violence intime qui pousse au meurtre. C'est ainsi que Louis-Henri de La Rochefoucauld nous révèle différents visages de l'existence et interroge avec son humour et sa mélancolie légendaires la possibilité d'aimer encore au XXIe siècle.

Der amerikanische Prosa-Künstler Washington Irving hat mit seinen Erzählungen einen prägenden Einfluss auf die amerikanische Literatur ausgeübt. Das liegt an seiner sehr angenehmen Sprachgestaltung und dem Realitätsbezug des gewählten Gegenstands. Allerdings ummantelt er seine Geschichten ebenso gerne mit einem Grotesk-Phantastischen Gewand, so dass man zum einen nie weiß was als nächstes kommt und zum anderen immer das Gefühl vermittelt bekommt hautnah dabei zu sein, wobei einem die beschriebenen Szenen sofort vor dem geistigen Auge vorüberzuziehen scheinen.
