En la obra de Xavier Villaurrutia el tema predominante es la muerte; vivi obsesionado por el tema. Escribi alguna vez que el hombre puede echar de menos su muerte, que vive y experimenta en formas muy misteriosas. Dentro de Nostalgia de la muerte se rene su poesa y teatro, que fueron para l otra pasin.
La fina pluma de Villaurrutia (1903-1950), poeta, antes que otra cosa, tambin se ocup de la crtica literaria, el relato y la dramaturgia. Sus versos son altamente atractivos tanto por la sonoridad desconcertante de sus versos y la pasin unida al terror que le inspira el tema de la muerte.
