The Profile

Georges Simenon (1903–1989) was a Belgian author, creator of Inspector Maigret, known for psychological, character-driven crime novels.

Creator of the detective Inspector Maigret; widely translated and adapted; noted for economical, immersive prose and psychological focus in crime fiction.

Reviews emphasize Simenon's psychological approach to crime fiction: Maigret as a "policeman-psychologist" and the atmosphere of his Maigret novels. The Man Who Watched Trains Go By is read as a study of a man's break from a bland life into notoriety. Both reviews note Simenon's fluid, immersive prose.
