Maigret sets the record straight and tells the story of his own life, giving a rare glimpse into the mind of the great inspector - and the writer who would immortalise him. 'I can still see Simenon coming into my office the next day, pleased with himself, displaying even more self-confidence, if possible, than before, but nevertheless with a touch of anxiety in his eyes.... He trumpeted these last words as if they were a sensational discovery. Making it seem truer than life, that's the crux of it. Well, I've made you truer than life.'

Simenon has created an anthropology text here, and I do believe every police academy should use it as a required text!Maigret, the character, of course, writes in the first person about his life getting into the Police Judiciare, meeting his wife, the criminals as a class of humanity (which is probably the most unlikely aspect of today's criminals), and greatest of all, about his creator and author, Georges Simenon who as the real author of these books is writing about himself in the third person!
I've read about 60 of them, and my first ones 2 or 3 times because they are quick and easy, and just wonderful stories well told with characters I like (even the criminals most of the time!). But this one? Yes, I'll read it again.
This is the Maigret's Masterpiece.

Maigret Memoirs Inspector Maigret Book 35 (Audible Audio Edition) Georges Simenon Gareth Armstrong Audible Studios Books Reviews
excellent. i like it. i wll give it to a friend to read it too.
Quality writing set in the Paris in your mind.
Who's the chap behind the Simenon mask?
Do you believe that you can sell the same book twice only by changing its title?
Anyhow we who love Maigret will accept this 'Simenon' also... just because.
It is always a good experience reading Georges Simenon.
One of the under-rated aspects of his stories is that they are not over-written. He tells the story and does not chew the pages.
While the Maigret novels are page-turners, I enjoy savoring them the way I savor the dawn or the setting sun. The stories are lean, yet contain fresh and sparkling details about places, people, and the human heart. The new translations add vibrancy to the tales; they seem newly minted. What a joy to have so many finely-crafted works to enjoy anew.
One day Maigret's chief asks him to show a cocky young man named Georges Sim around the office. Next it seems Sim wants to write novels based on Maigret. The chief gets Maigret to go along with it for the sake of the force. Most people mistrust or ridicule the police. Sims will show them the police in their true light.
And so Maigret becomes a character in fiction, much to his discomfort.
Sims, who emerges gradually as Simenon, has managed to charm Madame Maigret and get her support. But the fictional Maigret continues to be a distortion of the real Maigret, and now, with these memoirs, Maigret intends to set things straight and correct Simenon's many errors and inaccuracies.
Maigret describes his childhood years in the country, his early medical studies and his apprenticeship with the police. Try as he might to distinguish himself from the famous fictional detective, Maigret the self-effacing memoir writer still sounds very much like Simenon's Maigret.
Maigret's description of the symbiotic relationship between policemen and the underworld is particularly fascinating. And the story of the courtship of the future Madame Maigret is something no fan of Maigret will want to miss.
MAIGRET'S MEMOIRS is a charming contrivance - and a quiet treat for the avid reader of Maigret mysteries.
This is one of the finest Maigrets but is totally different from the others. Purportedly written by Maigret in a gruff, down-to-earth style, the book does not focus on one case but takes the form of an affecting memoir of a young policeman learning about the underside of Paris, becoming a detective, meeting his wife, figuring out how to do his job effectively, and becoming a celebrity (to his great discomfort). It's especially fun when Maigret criticizes the inaccuracies of Simenon's portrayal of him and grouses about the actors that have played him in the movies and on TV. Simenon totally immerses himself in the Maigret persona, and the book is sometimes delightfully amateurish in exactly the ways it would be if Maigret had really written it.
Simenon has created an anthropology text here, and I do believe every police academy should use it as a required text!
Maigret, the character, of course, writes in the first person about his life getting into the Police Judiciare, meeting his wife, the criminals as a class of humanity (which is probably the most unlikely aspect of today's criminals), and greatest of all, about his creator and author, Georges Simenon who as the real author of these books is writing about himself in the third person!
