Trois récits de vies parmi les huit vies minuscules qui constituent le célèbre recueil de Pierre Michon : la Vie d'André Dufourneau, la Vie du père Foucault et la Vie de Georges Bandy. Trois récits de destins sans gloire et sans lumière, destins brisés par la luxure, la honte ou l'ambition. Ces Vies minuscules, ce sont celles d'un aïeul aventurier, d'un vieil homme illettré, d'un abbé trop sensuel ; des vies qui ont traversé celle du narrateur avec la fulgurance de la modestie et dessinent en filigrane son propre portrait.

Cuando intente repetirla tres años más tarde, el sueño de una revelación se convertirá en un enfrentamiento con su destino.
