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 #21

Georges Simenon, The Cellars of the Majestic (Inspector Maigret), translated from the French by Howard Curtis (New York: Penguin Books, 2015) ("'Do you know what I think? . . . I think . . . that you've always been unlucky . . . It struck the first time I saw you . . . There are people like that, who never succeed at anything, and I've noticed that they're also the ones who end up with the most unpleasant disease and infirmities . . . ' " Id. at 149.).
