William Faulkner "The greatest of all, the most genuine novelist we have had in literature.". Maigret and Monsieur Charles. Originally published as Maigret et Monsieur Charles, by Presses de la Citâe in 1972.
I am reading all the Maigret books, re-issued by Penguin, and they are wonderful! Maigret is a wonderful character, and Simenon shows us the real man, with all his flaws as well as his marvelous insights into character.
I'm trying to read the books in date order, and so far I'm up to book 23 - only 54 left!
