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 #8
Georges Simenon, The Grand Banks Cafe (Inspector Maigret), translated from the French by David Coward (New York: Penguin Books, 2014) ("'If anyone asked me what the distinctive feature of this case is,' he said, 'I'd say that it has the mark of rage on it . . . I don't make anything of it. merely remark that I feel as if I'm in around in circles surrounded by a lot of made people . . . " Id. at 45-46.).
