Gallic Noir by Pascal Garnier, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

One of the most remarkable and, in the English-speaking world at least, one of the most inexplicably underappreciated French writers of the twentieth century'John Banville, New York Review of Books Enter the world of Pascal Garnier, where life's misfits take centre stage, there is drama in the everyday and the unexpected is always just around the corner. Volume 3 includes The Eskimo Solution, in which a struggling writer's life becomes disconcertingly entangled with the crime novel he's writing; Low Heights, in which vultures circle as a cantankerous retiree falls for his nurse and finds himself confronted with a man claiming to be his long-lost son; and Too Close to the Edge, the tale of a quiet retirement in the foothills of the Alps turned upside down. Dark, funny and shot through with menace, these perfectly crafted novellas of Gallic noir are also affecting studies in human alienation." | Gallic Noir by Pascal Garnier, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
