Georges Simenon by Lucille F Becker

Georges Simenon was one of the major French-language novelists of the twentieth century as well as one of the most prolific: 190 potboilers signed with 17 pseudonyms, 358 novels and short stories signed Simenon, 25 autobiographical works, 30 series of articles published in the French press before and immediately after World War II, and a ballet scenario.
Lucille F. Becker, Drew University Professor Emerita of French Literature, has integrated new material and new insights into Simenon's life and work, and has thereby provided readers with a fresh, highly readable, and authoritative overview over his oeuvre. Professor Becker was the keynote speaker at the National Press Club 1987-88 Georges Simenon Festival in Washington, D.C.
