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 #11

Georges Simenon, The Two-Penny Bar (Inspector Maigret), translated from the French by David Watson (New York: Penguin Books, 2014) (previously published as The Bar on the Seine) ('They're a good bunch,' James suddenly murmured, as if following his own line of thought. . . 'All of them. They have such boring lives. But what can you do about that? Everyone 's life is boring.'" Id. at 35.).
