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 #14
Georges Simenon, The Flemish House (Inspector Maigret), translated from the French by Shaun Whiteside (New York: Penguin Books, 2014) ("'So few people look intelligent! For example, if I'mu in the presence of a possible culprit, I make a point of acting like an imbecile . . .'" Id. at 121.).
