A review by geoffreyjen
Maigret Se Fâche by Georges Simenon
5.0
A chaque livre de Simenon je découvre de nouvelles façons de faire, de raconter des histoires envoutantes sur la nature intime des gens. Ce livre aura des cotés étonnants. Il s’agit d’un portrait des plus fascinants des parties infimes des gens ordinaires, les revers enfouis, et aussi de ce monsieur, cet inspecteur qui les déniche. Je pensais connaitre Maigret, mais ici je découvre une autre personne, qui fait un tout avec le Maigret qu’on connait, mais qui étonne aussi. Un livre saissisante, qui témoigne de la force de cet écrivain pas comme les autres!
With each of Simenon’s books, I discover new ways of telling stories that unveil the undersides of human lives. This book is astounding. It offers us a fascinating portrait of just how far buried can be some elements of the human psyche, but also of this man, this detective who does the work of bringing them up into the light. I thought I knew Maigret, yet here I discovered another person, who forms a whole with the other Maigret, but who carries us into new places. An enthralling book, that bears witness to the astonishing power of the writer, so different from others who work in this genre, or any other!
