The Man Who Watched Trains Go By (New York Review Books Classics)
“Attention should be paid to the New York Review of Books' continuing reissues of Georges Simenon. Simenon was legendary both for his literary skill–four or five books every year for 40 years–and his sexual capacity, at least to hear him tell it.  What we can speak of with some certainty are the novels, which are tough, rigorously unsentimental and full of rage, duplicity and, occasionally, justice. Simenon's tone and dispassionate examination of humanity was echoed by Patricia Highsmith, who dispensed with the justice. So far, the Review has publishedTropic Moon, The Man Who Watched Trains Go By, Red Lights, Dirty SnowandThree Bedrooms in Manhattan;The Strangers in the Housecomes out in November. Try one, and you'll want to read more.” –The Palm Beach Post
