#MailboxMonday
BOOK RECEIVED THIS PAST WEEK
Wow, I haven’t done a Mailbox Monday for ages!
This past week, thanks to the generosity of Belgravia Books / Gallic Books, I received the first volume of what it seems to be a new collection.
The first 2 volumes contain works by Pascal Garnier.
Volume 1 includes The A26, in which a new Picardy motorway brings modernity close to a flat in which a brother and sister live together, haunted by terminal illness and the events of 1945;
How’s the Pain?, the tale of an ageing ‘pest exterminator’ taking on one last job on the French Riviera;
and The Panda Theory, in which a stranger, Gabriel, arrives in a Breton town and befriends the locals … but is he as angelic as he seems?
I really enjoy Pascal Garnier’s writing. I have reviewed Moon in a Dead Eye, The Islanders, Too Close to the Edge, and The Eskimo Solution.
So I’m thrilled to discover these three I have not read yet.
Gallic Books’ logo is “The best of French in English”. That’s right.

These sound like they are worth a read.

yes, if you are into noir. It’s really what he can do in very short novels. How things look at first honky-dory, and how it quickly goes down hill

I received Call Me Zebra by Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi. It is the March selection of The Nervous Breakdown Book Club. I started it last night. Amazing!

This volume contains 3 of his short novels. As I have not read these stories, I can’t say for sure. This one for sure is very typical of him and good: https://wordsandpeace.com/2014/08/07/book-review-moon-in-a-dead-eye-i-love-france-105/
