Reviews
'Low Heights has as much to say about ageing and emotional intelligence as many more overtly literary novels' Financial Times 'Pascal Garnier's Low Heights continues his run of mordant, black-humoured, murderous farces to superb effect' The Spectator 'Deliciously sly and nuanced, Low Heights is as much an acerbic commentary on the crime novel's conventions as it is a slow-burning psychological thriller' Irish Times 'Very funny, full of insight on being arrogant and getting old' Chrissie Hynde 'Delightful ... in a really, really dark and disturbing way' Complete Review 'Another classy and clever little drama from one of the most likeably dark storytellers out there' The Bookbag 'This is not just about death, violence and crime, but a potent meditation on ageing and loneliness. ... Subtly subversive, always unsettling, this is another excellent addition to the Garnier series' Crime Fiction Lover Praise for Pascal Garnier 'Brief, brisk, ruthlessly entertaining novels ... Garnier makes bleakness pleasurable' John Powers, NPR 'Deliciously dark ... painfully funny' New York Times 'Garnier plunges you into a bizarre, overheated world, seething death, writing, fictions and philosophy. He's a trippy, sleazy, sly and classy read' A. L. Kennedy 'Tense, strange, disconcerting and slyly funny' Sunday Times 'The final descent into violence is worthy of J G Ballard. 4 stars' The Independent 'A master of the surreal noir thriller - Luis Buñuel meets Georges Simenon' TLS 'Combines a sense of the surreal with a ruthless wit' The Observer 'Readers will relish the late Pascal Garnier's graveyard humorous dark French noir' Midwest Book Review, Deliciously sly and nuanced, Low Heights is as much an acerbic commentary on the crime novel's conventions as it is a slow-burning psychological thriller., 'Brief, brisk, ruthlessly entertaining novels ... Garnier makes bleakness pleasurable' John Powers, National Public Radio 'Deliciously dark ... painfully funny' New York Times Only now working their way into English translation, Garnier's crime novels add significantly to the latest renaissance for this type of dark narrative.' Publishers Weekly 'Readers will relish the late Pascal Garnier's graveyard humorous dark French noir' Midwest Book Review 'Masterly' John Banville 'Garnier plunges you into a bizarre, overheated world, seething death, writing, fictions and philosophy. He's a trippy, sleazy, sly and classy read.' A L Kennedy 'Like Georges Simenon's books, Pascal Garnier's subversive, almost surreal tales come in slim little volumes, seldom more than 150 pages or so. But in that space he manages to say as much, and more memorably too, than many authors of books that are too heavy to hold.' Literary Review 'Tense, strange, disconcerting and slyly funny' Sunday Times 'The final descent into violence is worthy of J G Ballard. 4 stars' The Independent 'A master of the surreal noir thriller - Luis Buuel meets Georges Simenon.' TLS 'Combines a sense of the surreal with a ruthless wit.' The Observer
Synopsis
Classic Garnier; the absurdity of life, deeply flawed but strangely likeable characters. Death with a Gallic shrug., In Low Heights, from the 'slyly funny' [Sunday Times] Pascal Garnier, a grumpy retiree has his world turned upside down when a man claiming to be his son turns up on his doorstep. 'Another classy and clever little drama' The Bookbag At least vultures have the decency to wait until their prey's dead before picking it apart ... After losing his wife and suffering a stroke, cantankerous retiree Edouard Lavenant has moved from Lyon to a village in the mountains with his put-upon nurse, Therese. One day, a man comes to the door claiming to be Edouard's long-lost son. Edouard's temper seems to be softening, but it isn't long before the local vultures are circling overhead ..., Critically acclaimed author with high profile fans including Ian Rankin and John Banville. A hit with reviewers (including Marilyn Stasio in the New York Times and John Powers on NPR), bloggers (including MA Orthofer) and booksellers (such as New York's Albertine). An audience is building in the USA. Intelligently written noir with a distinct French flavour. New series look., After losing his wife and suffering a stroke, douard has retired to the mountains with his nurse. One day a man arrives claiming to be his long-lost son. This seems to bring about a softening of douard's temper, but it isn't long before the local vultures begin to circle . . ., In Low Heights , from the 'slyly funny' [ Sunday Times ] Pascal Garnier, a grumpy retiree has his world turned upside down when a man claiming to be his son turns up on his doorstep.
