Georges Simenon ; translated by Helen Eustis

Summary

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
