Glad you appreciated the novel. As I already said many times
here on R-A, it's his masterpiece.
As for the non-Maigret works, "romans durs" as he
called them, you will find a very good and handy bibliography
of translations in a short essay published in the UK (they
mention the original French titles): THE POCKET ESSENTIAL
GEORGES SIMENON (2003)
Then you have also an interesting bio written by
Patrick Marnham : THE MAN WHO WASN'T MAIGRET- A PORTRAIT OF
GEORGES SIMENON, which has a good bibliography of Simenon's
works, inclusive non-Maigret IIRC.
You will find a brief intro to these books (more
detailed for the Pocket Essential) in my website in English
dedicated to Belgian culture, a site created at the dawn of
the Web and intended for general public (not mysteries
aficionados)

"Mark R. Harris" <
brokerharris@gmail.com> a 飲it : I just finished
reading Georges Simenon's intense noir novel Dirty Snow, in
the Marc Romano/Louise Varese translation published by New
York Review Books, and I can recommend it
unqualifiedly.
..../... Does anyone know of a good bibliography of Simenon's
non- The most helpful sort of bibliography from my point of
view would include the original French titles, years of
publications, and pseudonyms if any; plus detailed
information about all of the translations into English (there
are multiples on many Simenon titles). OK, so I am asking for
a lot.
Best, Mark
