Autoren-Porträt von Georges Simenon
Georges Simenon, geb. am 13. Februar 1903 in Liège/Belgien, begann nach abgebrochener Buchhändlerlehre als Lokalreporter. Nach einer Zeit in Paris als Privatsekretär eines Marquis wohnte er auf seinem Boot, mit dem er bis nach Lappland fuhr, Reiseberichte und erste Maigret-Romane verfassend. Schaffenswut und viele Ortswechsel bestimmten 30 Jahre lang sein Leben, bis er sich am Genfersee niederließ, wo er nach 75 Maigret-Romanen und über 120 Non-Maigrets beschloss, statt Romane ausgreifende autobiographische Arbeiten (wie die monumentalen Intimen Memoiren ) zu diktieren. Er starb am 4. September 1989 in Lausanne.
