Historický román o Françoisu Villonovi Americký autor líčí ve svém románu s určitou dávkou osobitého humoru osudy Françoise Villona, jednoho z největších středověkých francouzských básníků. Villon, věčný darebák a neustále pronásledovaný rebel, jehož život byl ve skutečnosti možná daleko tragičtější, tvořil poezii plnou lásky k životu a lidem. Svým obsahem jsou jeho verše stále moderní a podmaňují si čtenáře hlubokým citem pro spravedlnost, lidskou důstojnost a solidaritu s utlačovanými. V románu se autorovi podařilo vytvořit plnokrevnou postavu, která odpovídá nadčasovému duchu Villonových básní a zároveň čtivý příběh, zasazený do reálných historických souvislostí.
