Georges Simenon

Itinerary of a Belgian writer
  • Georges Simenon, itinerary of a Belgian writer, offers an original look at a complex and engaging personality.

Georges Simenon, a prolific writer who is one of the world's most translated, is also the author of a particularly rich correspondence. From the manuscript written in the solitude of his office to the letters exchanged with his friends or his colleagues, Georges Simenon's writings reveal an intimate facet of his character. In the words along the exhibition itinerary, Georges Simenon unveils his love for his family, his attention for his mother despite their difficult relations, his modesty towards the world of letters and even his writing tics: 'Yesterday, at around 3.45, I sat down at the same desk with the Do not disturb' sign on the two doors, with the coffee beside me, four dozen new justsharpened pencils and also a new pad of yellowish paper and the paper envelope with the names, ages and addresses of my characters - a pile of railway guides. With the curtains drawn, and machines and pipes cleaned... In short, the routine that ended up becoming a superstition.'
