Il est là, posé. Le panda. Il va traverser discrètement le livre de Pascal Garnier. Il accompagne du regard Gabriel, reste d’être humain au lourd passif affectif qui s’installe dans une petite ville de Bretagne. D’où vient-il ? Qui est-il ? Tout le monde s’en fout presque, mais pas tant que ça. A lui seul, il réinjecte ces petits soubresauts de vie avec cette quiétude triste dans un quotidien omniprésent. Gabriel croise les gens et s’immisce imperceptibly into their space: women and men chipped by the passage of time over which they have no control. Undergoing the mundane life as survivors ... To console them, win them or make them happy, he makes them to eat more often. He does it so well.
Pascal Garnier writes beautifully. Basing his account on simplicity, it creates a quiet empathy, almost mesmerizing, the characters for no apparent relief when only the cross: a receptionist at a hotel terribly lonely, exhausted and unhappy a restaurateur, a couple on borrowed time. The author takes his time, dissects casually hooked atoms, looks into the void and silence. It magnifies the little surreptitious nature of things, and devotes himself with relish to the inert weight. theory panda is one of those rare moments that combine accuracy with a certain irony, sadness, despair and tragedy, with the fierce desire to be still a man's height. Then, implicitly, the author delivers in these pages a few bits of explanations, some keys on the path of Gabriel. Its history. One understands, too quickly perhaps, that the outcome was his evidence, it is written. That the trace left by Gabriel ... Like the indelible Pascal Garnier, who died last March.
