How's the Pain?: Shocking, hilarious and poignant noir by Pascal Garnier

How's the Pain?: Shocking, hilarious and poignant noir by Pascal Garnier

'Masterly' John Banville 'Action-packed and full of gallows humour' Sunday Telegraph

Death is Simon's business. And now the ageing vermin exterminator is preparing to die. But he still has one last job down on the coast, and he needs a driver.

Bernard is twenty-one. He can drive and he's never seen the sea. He can't pass up the chance to chauffeur for Simon, whatever his mother may say. As the unlikely pair set off on their journey, Bernard soon finds that Simon's definition of vermin is broader than he'd expected.

Veering from the hilarious to the horrific, this offbeat story from master stylist Pascal Garnier is at heart an affecting study of human frailty.

'A perfectly balanced cross between a thriller and a social document' L'Express 'Writing that is limpid, precise, even poetic.' Le Figaro 'A novel run through with humanity.' Livres Hebdo
