Overview

'And always the dirty snow, the heaps of snow that look rotten, with black patches and embedded garbage ... unable to cover the filth.' Nineteen-year-old Frank - thug, thief, son of a brothel owner - gets by surprisingly well despite living in a city under military occupation, but a warm house and a full stomach are not enough to make him feel truly alive in such a climate of deceit and betrayal. During a bleak, unending winter, he embarks on a string of violent and sordid crimes that set him on a path from which he can never return. Georges Simenon's matchless novel is a brutal, compelling portrayal of a world without pity; a devastating journey through a psychological no-man's land.

Reviews

'Among the best novels of the 20th century.' -- The New Yorker 'So noir it makes Raymond Chandler look beige.' -- The Independent 'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century ... Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories.' -- The Guardian


Author Information

Georges Joseph Christian Simenon (13 February 1903 - 4 September 1989) was a Belgian writer. A prolific author who published nearly 200 novels and numerous short works, Simenon is best known as the creator of the fictional detective Jules Maigret. Joe trained at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. He has worked regularly at Shakespeare's Globe, the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Southwark Playhouse, the Bristol Old Vic and the Ustinov in Bath. Joe's work includes The Hot Kid and The Shootist (both for BBC Radio 4), the film adaptation of Great Expectations and several audiobook recordings, including the Spellslinger series by Sebastien de Castell and James Craig's Inspector Carlyle stories. Howard Curtis, who lives in London, has translated more than sixty books from French, Italian and Spanish. Among his recent translations are works by Daniel Arsand, Santiago Gamboa, and Paolo Sorrentino. His current projects include two novels by Carole Martinez, a book of short stories by Andrej Longo, and the Duca Lamberti tetralogy by Giorgio Scerbanenco.
