I never knew dogs could be so complicated! And Lucky has taught me to have a lot more patience and tolerance than I have ever had before!
So we pack up what's left of my Simenon collection–what's left? A lot! Funny story: after packing up two full boxes of Simenon, and taping these two useless segments, I found about 1/3 of an entirely extra box! Which books were they? I can't recall, but lots of paperbacks. youtu.be/XCAQT6W4Z9s

So I seem to have missed this—my longish piece on Simenon at TNR. newrepublic.com/article/2098...
