Description - Long Way Off by Pascal Garnier
At once devastatingly cruel and disarmingly honest, this pair of novellas form an irreverent union of darkly humorous French noir. Bored by his aimless life, 66 year old Marc decides to take his cat and his grown-up daughter, Anne, on an impromptu road trip. Despite its promising start, the journey soon takes a turn for the bizarre, and easy-going Marc comes to realise he does not really know his daughter at all. Shocking, hilarious and poignant, this final book from Pascal Garnier, published shortly before his death, is the author on top form. And this edition comes with an extra treat: That's Life, a short story about a famous author whose life suddenly veers out of control. AUTHOR: 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 Ardeche, 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 wit.
