First, let me thank everyone who responded to my Simenon
queries both on and off list. I heartily appreciate it. I was
a little slow responding because this was a brutal
pre-holiday week at work. But I have a wealth of information
to explore now.
Second, Mike, I (re-)joined the group on October 9 and
therefore just missed the exchange you mention by a few
weeks. Thanks for pointing it out. I had done a search for
"Dirty Snow" in the archive but should have done a more
general search on just "Simenon."
New York Review Books has now apparently published nine
Simenon titles, in addition to all the other great books
they've been busy re-issuing. For litterateurs, this is one
of the best imprints out there these days.
Best, Mark
