When Simenon was on, he was one of the greatest writers in the world. He could convey more pathos, psychological tension and mystery in his short, spare novels than most other writers could ever dream of.This book focusses on a typical Simenon character - a man broken by the events of his life who is barely floating through whatever remains of his time on earth. A bizarre vision propels him to write a journal that is really a lengthy suicide note. What follows is the delicate and deliberate reconstruction of a man's life.Poignant, disturbing, but never depressing. And highly recommended.
