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 #30
Georges Simenon, Maigret's First Case (Inspector Maigret), translated from the French by Ros Schwartz (New York: Penguin Books, 2016) ("Poor Le Bret! He could not get used to Maigret's transformation. He was like those parents who treat their child like a baby and then suddenly see before them a man reasoning like an adult." Id. at 129.).
