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 #6

Georges Simenon, Night at the Crossroads (Inspector Maigret), translated from the French by Linda Coverdale (New York: Penguin Books, 2014) ("She laughed. A very, musical laugh. And more than ever, she was wreathed in what American movies portray as sex appeal. For a woman can be lovely without being alluring, while other, less classically beautiful women unfailingly inspire desire or sentential feeling." Id. at 65.).
