Simenon: A Biography book by Pierre Assouline

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in good condition. Pages in excellent condition. Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Georges Simenon (1903-1989) was one of the most celebrated and widely read genre writers of all time. And his life - which he lived in Paris in the 1920s and 30s, America in the 50s, and in Europe in the 60sreads like a work of fiction. In this remarkable biography, Pierre Assouline gives us the most vivid and satisfying portrait we have ever had of this genius of literary mass production. He started working as a journalist at sixteen, turning out reams of copy, mostly for the Gazette de Liege, under different names. By the age of twenty-two, Simenon was writing three novels a month. By his death, he had produced close to 400, as well as some twenty-five autobiographical books and innumerable stories. As beloved as his novels particularly his TV-adapted Inspector Maigret mysteries were, his unveiled and overriding inspiration in writing was always strictly financial gain. Simenon prized quantitative achievement in his personal life as well, and his sex life was notoriously obsessive and rapid in its turnover. Artikel-Nr. Batch-FM510-VG-11199
