PASCAL GARNIER (1949-2010) was a French novelist, short story writer and children's author whose work has been compared to the fiction of Georges Simenon and Patricia Highsmith.
From his home in the mountains of the Ardèche, Garnier wrote short, hypnotic and amoral novels drawn from ordinary provincial life. His heroes inhabit a France of anonymous villages and sullen small towns with bad-food restaurants, tacky hotels, garden gnomes, DIY mega-stores, and cheapo carnivals -- conjuring a world of struggling people who are trapped by their surroundings, by themselves, by fate. Though his writing is often very dark in tone, it sparkles with quirkily beautiful imagery and dry wit.
"Garnier's books are marked by their integration of strange characters into their French provincial settings . . . and always retain at their heart a sense of human frailty, despite the blackness of the humour and at times horrific events. Combining the style of Simenon with the visual imagination and humour of the Coen Brothers, there is much to recommend these novellas. They are small works of literary genius, and I would urge you to discover them for yourselves." (Ravencrime)
