NOTES
1: Maigret: A Man's Head....2002
December 3 2002 14:15 Afternoon Play
Geoges Simenon's finest creation, Inspector Maigret of the Police
Judiciare in Paris is one of the greatest heroes of detective fiction. Played
by Nicholas Le Prevost, the character returns to radio in the first of four
stylish new dramas. Reading the voice of Simenon is the novelist Julian
Barnes.
As Simenon's centenary approaches in February 2003, this case from the
1930s evokes the Paris of Hemingway, and a touch of Dostoyevsky, in a
city of jazz.
