Pascal Garnier, who died in March 2010, was a talented novelist, short story writer, children’s author and painter. From his home in the mountains of the Ardèche, he wrote fiction in a noir palette with a cast of characters drawn from ordinary provincial life. Though his writing is often very dark in tone, it sparkles with quirkily beautiful imagery and dry witted humour. Garnier’s work has been likened to the great thriller writer, Georges Simenon. Gallic books has now published many of his titles, including - The Panda Theory, How’s the Pain?, The Islanders, Moon in a Dead Eye, and The Front Seat Passenger.

Quotes by Pascal Garnier (?)

“Nature's a funny old thing, it does whatever it pleases. He had always been a little afraid of it. He tiptoed into forests, speaking in a whisper, as though entering a church. Nature was mysterious, incomprehensible, impenetrable, off limits, like the ladies' toilets.”
― Pascal Garnier, Moon in a Dead Eye

tags: ladies-toilet, nature, wc

“People are always ashamed of the misery that has befallen them, as though it were an act of divine retribution for a long-forgotten sin of theirs”
― Pascal Garnier

tags: misery, retribution, sin

“He had instinctively fled to Gare Saint-Lazare because he had nowhere to go, and people with nowhere to go always end up at stations.”
― Pascal Garnier, The Islanders: Shocking, hilarious and poignant noir
