When I Was Old by Georges Simenon, H. Eustis

An intimate inside look at the mind of Georges Simenon, immortalized here in his journals.
In the 1960s, Simenon bought three leather-bound journals, planning to leave a record of his life and career for his sons. He was 57 years old, a best-selling author, and happily married for many years, and in these journals he began to reflect on the complexities of aging, relationships, and the life of a writer. "When I Was Old," a collection of these writings, is an essential read for any fan of this prolific literary voice.
