"Dans "La mort de près", l'écrivain convoque à sa table de travail le lieutenant de 14 tel qu'il était, dans sa vareuse tachée de sang et de boue, sentant le cadavre et la chimie. Le jeune officier n'a plus peur, il ne souffre plus, ses larmes sont taries. Il parle calmement, posément, libéré du feu des souvenirs qui brûlait les pages de Ceux de 14. Il raconte de nouveau quelques moments de sa guerre, comment il a rencontré la mort et ce qu'il en a vu. Tout est clair. On y comprend ainsi, mieux que dans le récit haletant d'autrefois, le déroulement d'un combat d'infanterie au début de la Première Guerre mondiale. [...]" Michel Bernard.

Una tarde mientras le preguntaba a Lupin sobre sus casos más sonados, me empezó a dictar números, en lo que yo pensé era una serie completamente aleatoria. Tras varios minutos así, haciéndome poner en tela de juicio la cordura de Lupin, me di cuenta, de que los números representaban una secuencia de destellos, que parecía alguien estaba enviando desde una ventana del edificio del frente a nuestro.
