Per motivi personali, o per ragioni che non conosco io stesso, ho iniziato a sentirmi vecchio e ho iniziato a tenere dei quaderni. Stavo per compiere sessant'anni. I quaderni autobiografici di Georges Simenon, in cui annota le sue osservazioni, esperienze, ansie e 'tutte le idee stupide che mi passano per la testa', sono uno degli autoritratti più sinceri di uno scrittore mai messi su carta. Qui, mentre il celebre autore esamina spietatamente i suoi tortuosi metodi di scrittura, il suo passato, la sua fama, le sue relazioni intime e le sue paure di invecchiare, il risultato è un'intuizione spietata, spesso dolorosamente rivelatrice, di un uomo che cerca sia di trovare che di sfuggire a se stesso. 'Come rivelato in questi quaderni, Simenon è una mente astuta e lucida. L'equilibrio pende verso il reale, l'immediato, i misteri della complessità umana soprattutto. Completamente senza pretese'. The New York Times.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'For personal reasons, or for reasons I don't know myself, I began feeling old, and I began keeping notebooks. I was nearing the age of sixty'Georges Simenon's autobiographical notebooks, in which he recorded his observations, experiences, anxieties and 'all the silly ideas that pass through my head', are one of the most candid self-portraits of a writer ever put to paper. Here, as the celebrated author ruthlessly examines his tortuous writing methods, his past, his fame, his intimate relationships and his fears of ageing, the result is an unsparing, often painfully revealing insight into a man trying both to find and to escape himself. 'As revealed in these notebooks, Simenon's is a shrewd, lucid mind . the balance tips toward the real, the immediate, the mysteries of human complexity above all . Utterly unpretentious' The New York Times. Codice articolo LU-9780241213131
