I just finished reading Georges Simenon's intense noir novel
Dirty Snow, in the Marc Romano/Louise Varese translation
published by New York Review Books, and I can recommend it
unqualifiedly.
Does anyone know of a good bibliography of Simenon's
non-Inspector Maigret work, either online or elsewhere in
print? Information about the 75 Maigret novels and 28 short
stories is fairly easy to come by, as for example here:
But I haven't found an equivalent for the non-Maigret work.
Wikipedia says there are 117 non-Maigret "psychological
novels"; also that there are "about 450" novels and volumes
of short stories "including pseudonymous works" altogether.
Clearly the man wrote his pants off.
The most helpful sort of bibliography from my point of view
would include the original French titles, years of
publications, and pseudonyms if any; plus detailed
information about all of the translations into English (there
are multiples on many Simenon titles). OK, so I am asking for
a lot.
Best, Mark
