furfff's review against another edition
3.0
A double amputee sits at home and gives himself and his wife an endlessly difficult time about whether not she's messing around with the (other) disabled man in the same apartment building. Kinda fascinating, kinda melodramatic, ultimately pretty grim, occasionally irritating in its gender-inequality-stuff, but singularly Simenon. There's something about the essential Idea here that I found really engaging... about the porous borders between love and obsession or, even if not obsession then complete knowledge... and the benefits/protections of there being a little mystery.
