[10/14/25] Monnier, Pascalle: Touché

Green Linden Press, paperback

Publication Date: October 14, 2025

Publisher Marketing: Self-sardonic and often tongue-in-cheek, Touché, composed entirely of aspirations, captures something both subtle and insightful about quotidian struggle and the human spirit—to wit: its refusal to give in, even when wracked by regret, grief, and a tendency to brood. This is a portrait of a person saving herself through wry humor and complex literary allusion. In addition to its darkly uplifting attitude, Touché approaches the personal in a refreshingly impersonal way and models the art of not taking oneself too seriously.
