Maigret's Memoirs (Inspector Maigret)

A fictional autobiography of Maigret, Georges Simenonâ€™s brilliant detective. The thirty-fifth book in the new Penguin Maigret series.
Â
In this make-believe memoir, Maigret recounts a meeting with the author himself. The account starts with the arrival of Georges Sim, as he is called here, at the Paris Police Judiciaire to soak up atmosphere for his crime novels by dogging the footsteps of Inspector Maigret. The detective is irritated by the audacious young writer who names a character after him and argues that he oversimplifies, in his fiction, the intricate duties of the police investigating a case. Here, Maigret â€œsets the record straight,â€ telling readers how heâ€™s different from the invention, and about his courtship and marriage to his beloved Louise. Ingeniously amusing and tender, this is a look inside the mind of the brilliant Maigret like never before.

From the Trade Paperback edition.
