Book excerpt: “A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason.” —John Le Carré 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.
