«Spero che questa lettera non si perda nei vostri uffici e che lei la leggeràdi persona ... Mi stupisce che i giornali non rivelino quale fosse la vera personalitàdi Oscar Chabut. Possibile che nessuno, fra quelli che hanno contattato, abbia detto loro la verità? «Invece si parla di lui come di un uomo di grande valore, audace e caparbio, che con le sue sole forze ha creato una delle più importanti aziende vinicole. «È davvero sconfortante! Quell’uomo era un farabutto, gliel’ho detto e lo ripeto, pronto a sacrificare chiunque alla sua ambizione e alla sua mania di grandezza. Tanto che mi chiedo se in fondo non fosse pazzo. «È difficile credere che un uomo sano di mente possa comportarsi come faceva lui. Nei rapporti con le donne, prevaleva il bisogno di infangarle. Voleva possederle tutte, ma per svilirle e sentirsi superiore. Del resto si vantava delle sue conquiste senza preoccuparsi della loro reputazione».

reviewed Maigret and the wine merchant on July 04, 2014 Maigret and the wine merchant
This is one of Georges Simenon's later mysteries -- it was published in 1970 -- but it is every bit as good as his masterpieces of the 1930s. Maigret and the Wine Merchant is the story of the murder of someone who needed murdering. Occasionally, as in several of his earlier books, we see the Chief Superintendent sympathizing more with the murderer than the victim.
The interest thing to me if that Simenon himself was something of an ogre, somewhat like his murder victim Oscar Chabut. Both Simenon and his murder victim were Casanovas and borderline rapists. My late friend Norman knew personally a woman who had been raped by the mystery writer. So, I think that, in a sense, Simenon was writing about himself and allowing himself, toward the end of his life, to be judged harshly by his police hero, Jules Maigret.
About halfway through the book, we have a good idea who the murderer is: The problem is finding him. That is all the more curious since the murderer is tracking Maigret -- not to do him harm, but to have someone to talk to. Eventually, the two meet and ... and ... read the book, and you will see what happens. In all, it is a very satisfactory ending.
