Tjb51<p>Well that's the last of the Maigret novels.Maigret and Monsieur Charles. Not a taxing mystery but a greatly human finish to a fascinating series. I still have the short stories to go.<br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/simenon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>simenon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Maigret" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maigret</span></a></p>
Tjb51<p>On to the last Maigret 'Maigret and Monsieur Charles'.. very sad. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Maigret" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maigret</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Simenon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Simenon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/imreading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>imreading</span></a> 75th book I think. What series to go to now?</p>
Nick<p>Also, avoiding spoilers, the ending shows that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Maigret" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maigret</span></a> books are not Christie-type cosy crime puzzlers, where we meet several suspects and get to know them in detail to choose the killer</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Simenon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Simenon</span></a> instead uses the police procedural to explore the (often poignant) world of the victim or those close to them, with little interest in the actual murderer.</p><p>I feel like <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Sj%C3%B6wallandWahl%C3%B6%C3%B6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SjöwallandWahlöö</span></a> did this with <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MartinBeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MartinBeck</span></a>, but to a clearer political purpose. Simenon was a great writer but with less noble aims.</p>
Victor Gijsbers<p>I've read the 1941 book Cours d'Assises by George <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Simenon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Simenon</span></a> (translated in Dutch as De zaak Louis Bert). Simenon is famous for his detective novels starring inspector <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Maigret" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maigret</span></a>, so it was very interesting to me that this psychological novel was a sort of anti-detective, anti-policier. The protagonist is a small-time crook who ends up in a monstrous judicial machinery that cares only about itself, its process, its judgements, and not at all about the people it judges.</p>
Victor Gijsbers<p>In the past eleven months, I got 30 new books, of which I've by now read 13. I wonder whether that's a justifiable reading rate...</p><p>(Posting this now rather than next week, because I'll be receiving a box set of 15 of George Simenon's psychological novels...)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Booktodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Booktodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Simenon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Simenon</span></a></p>
