A priori, we envy the famous writer who can afford the luxury of avoiding sets because his talent is so praised. A priori, we are less envious of the anonymous reader who, through the stroke of life, has already lost her parents, her husband and her best friend. We are wrong, breathes Yasmina Reza with her sharp art of counterbalance.

InThe Man of Chancea text which will be 30 years old next September, the playwright turns the tide by bringing face to face, on a train, a writer who dwells on his bitterness and one of his fervent readers who sublimates her daily life thanks to literature. From there to thinking that it is easier to be a reader than an author, the step, taken at Les Amis, in Carouge, alongside the convincing Jean-Pierre Malo and Anne Durand, is quickly taken.
