By the author of the Inspector Maigret series
Henry Miller has remarked that Simenon would make a wonderful (benevolent) dictator, who would provide real bread and real wine, and not the ideological varieties.
Black Rain, the second of the two long stories in this volume, reconstructs with the reality and precision of Tolstoy a child's recollections of his home in a little town in Normandy. There is something akin to Simenon's great novel, Pedigree, in this faithful portrait of a family and the account of the ruthless hunt for an anarchist.
The Survivors, however, with its exact account of the return of a trawler to Fécamp and the arrest of the popular skipper on a charge of murder, is a mystery story in the manner of the Maigret books.
Both these stories were written over twenty years ago.
They provide many contrasts with the more curt and impressionistic manner of Simeon's later work.
