Simenon even had an American interval: five years in Connecticut during which he shared a barber with James Thurber. "How lucky you are not to have literary cafés in America," Simenon said last week.

Alternating between juvenile temper tantrums and thumb-sucking private reveries, they dwelt on the tried-and-trite themes of alienation, lack of communication, male-female hostility, the nausea...
