A COSMOPOLITAN LAWYER: JUST SOME READINGS I HAVE ENJOYED LATELY

First, this blog replaces my previous blog, thecosmoplitanlawyerblogspot.com . Second, unlike that earlier blog, the present one is primarily meant as a record of my readings. It is not meant to suggest that others will be or should be interested in what I read. And third, in a sense, it is a public diary of one who is an alien in his own American culture. A person who feels at home just about anywhere, except in his birthplace . . . America.

Georges Simenon, The Hanged Man of Saint-Pholien (Inspector Maigret), translated from the French by Linda Coverdale (New York: Penguin Books, 2014) ("The poor are used to stifling any expression of their despair, because they must get on with life, with work, with the demands made of them day after day, hour after hour." Id. at 27.).
