Gallic Noir: Volume 2

Gallic Noir: Volume 2 - Pascal Garnier

Gallic Noir: Volume 2


'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 2 includes Boxes, which tells the story of Brice, 'the sole survivor of the natural disaster that at one time or another strikes us all, known as 'moving house''; The Front Seat Passenger, in which a widower discovers his wife had a lover and decides to track down his widow; The Islanders, whose protagonist Olivier finds himself thrown back together with a childhood friend with whom he shares a dark secret; and Moon in a Dead Eye, in which the paranoia of the residents of a gated retirement village spins out of control.

Dark, funny and shot through with menace, these perfectly crafted novellas of Gallic noir are also affecting studies in human alienation.
