...with some 500 novels to his credit, Georges Simenon continues to demonstrate that he is a writer of extraordinary range-from murder-a-month Inspector Maigret thrillers to some of the most original psychodrama since Gide. These days his tone is quieter and more autumnal than it used to be; he is thinking hard about old age.

Wyler picked them after reading John Fowles's bestselling psychodrama, the story of a repressed lower-class bank clerk (and butterfly collector) who wins the football pool, buys a mansion, then kidnaps a pretty art student and keeps her in the basement for two months while he vainly tries to win her over and she as vainly tries to escape.
