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.

INSPECTOR MAIGRET #4

Georges Simenon, The Carter of La Providence (Inspector Maigret), translated from the French by David Coward (New York: Penguin Books, 2014) ("'Such charming creatures! Their first impulses are generous, if theatrical. They are so full of good intentions 'It's just that life, with its betrayals, compromises and overriding demands, is stronger.'" Id. at 146-147.).
