'For personal reasons, or for reasons I don't know myself, I began feeling old, and I began keeping notebooks. I was nearing the age of sixty'
Georges Simenon's autobiographical notebooks, in which he recorded his observations, experiences, anxieties and 'all the silly ideas that pass through my head', are one of the most candid self-portraits of a writer ever put to paper. Here, as the celebrated author ruthlessly examines his tortuous writing methods, his past, his fame, his intimate relationships and his fears of ageing, the result is an unsparing, often painfully revealing insight into a man trying both to find and to escape himself.
'As revealed in these notebooks, Simenon's is a shrewd, lucid mind ... the balance tips toward the real, the immediate, the mysteries of human complexity above all ... Utterly unpretentious' The New York Times

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. An intimate, unsparing and often moving autobiographical insight into Georges Simenon's extraordinary lifeIn 1960, 1961 and 1962, for personal reasons, or for reasons I don't know myself, I began feeling old, and I began keeping notebooks.Here in notebooks that were never intended for publication, Simenon reflects on his life in some of the most candid revelations ever written. He reflects on his past - his childhood in Liege, the wild parties in Paris and travels around the world - and also examines his motivations and his attitude to work. Examining his tortuous writing methods, his past, his fame, his intimate relationships and his fears of ageing, the author reveals a man trying both to find and to escape himself.
