Review
'The combination of sudden violence, surreal touches and bone-dry humour have led to Garnier's work being compared with the films of Tarantino and the Coen brothers. When the denouement suddenly begins in The Panda Theory, it is so unexpected that I read the page twice in shocked disbelief.

'This often bleak, often funny and never predictable narrative is written in a precise style. Garnier combines a sense of the surreal with a ruthless wit.' --The Observer

Nobody knows where he came from or why he's here. Yet his small acts of kindness, and exceptional cooking, quickly earn him acceptance from the locals. His new friends grow fond of Gabriel, who seems as reserved and benign as the toy panda he wins at the funfair. But unlike Gabriel, the fluffy toy is not haunted by his past...

A vague but friendly stranger in a humdrum little town helps people with their lives, and then helps them out of their lives.
This perfectly formed and pocket-sized homage to dull everyday provincial existence, punctuated by the staccato eccentricity of its characters and the sudden fate of violence, is tinged with a jet-black farce that only the French can truly achieve.
