A novel of nostalgia Beyond the story it tells, it seems to me that the basic theme of this novel is that of nostalgia, nostalgia for childhood memories, for a world which had disappeared, the nostalgia of a man who sees, little by little, the effects of age The entire novel is set under the sign of "decrepitude", symbolized by the decrepitude of the Lachaume house, literally and figuratively the rooms are old, of another age, but the mentality of the Lachaume family as well, dates from another time.

Correspondingly, Maigret in this novel feels strongly the beginnings of age Moreover, he thinks of his approaching retirement, two years away not knowing that, happily for him, Simenon is not yet ready to toss his Chief Inspector onto the scrap heap, and that he will delay his definitive retirement, a least on the level of writing, enough for another 22 novels, and far from his poorest By little touches, the author makes us "feel" this nostalgia Happily for Maigret, in the midst of this decrepitude, two female characters float up, who are outside this fallen world Paulette Lachaume, with a "muted vitality", and above all Veronique Lachaume, whose ample form recalls Maigret to the realities of life, and brings him out of the nostalgia in which he was getting stuck.

It's no doubt not an accident that, after hearing concierge's description of Veronique The reality of these two women, the making contact once more with the real, symbolized by the devouring of the choucroute see Ch. Thus the bedsheet with the monogram P, reserved for Paulette but found on Leonard's bed, the presence of an adjustable wrench in the dead man's room, and, by omission, the absence of a dressing robe The action of the novel takes place in November, whereas it was written in October.

Maigret of the Month: Maigret et les témoins récalcitrants

I've already done an analysis elsewhere of the correspondence between the weather of the writing and the weather in the story, and I've shown that the season of the writing has a certain influence on the season of the novel. I'd like to take up this analysis in part again, focusing on the correspondence between the month of the writing and the month of the action.

This is a much more interesting study, since for almost all the novels we can find the month of the action, whether because it's directly mentioned, or because it can be inferred through various indications in the text.

The month of the writing is also given, in principle in the dating found at the end of the text. Only the first four novels of the Fayard cycle give no precise indication of the month of writing, but for my analysis, I've used the indications given in the chronology set up by Michel Carly for the collection "Tout Simenon" from Editions Omnibus.
